EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable group statue of Hathor and Psamtik, representing the rich Egyptian civilization during the Late Period of Dynasty XXVI. The sculpture depicts both deities in full length, sitting and standing gracefully against a striking black background. Crafted with meticulous detail, this ancient carving was captured in a studio setting, allowing us to appreciate its intricate features. Hathor, symbolizing divinity and spirituality, is portrayed with her iconic horns atop her head while exuding an aura of grace and power. Beside her stands Pharaoh Psamtik, adorned in regal attire as he pays homage to the revered goddess. This sculpture serves as a testament to the deep religious beliefs that permeated ancient Egypt's history. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur of these two objects; their presence evokes a sense of awe and reverence for this ancient culture. The female likeness of Hathor is particularly striking, showcasing the artistic skill employed by craftsmen during this era. Dating back to the 7th century BC from Saqqara - an archaeological treasure trove - this artifact offers us a glimpse into Egypt's past glory. It represents not only human representation but also animal symbolism through Hathor's cow-like attributes. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back in time to explore the artistry and cultural significance embedded within ancient Egyptian civilization – an invaluable piece capturing our fascination with history and heritage.
