This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian artistry - a painted wood stele from the Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty XXI. The stele depicts an Amon musician playing the harp in front of the powerful god Ra-Harakhty. With its full length and kneeling position, the musician is fully engrossed in his melodic performance, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The intricate details on this wooden artifact are truly awe-inspiring. Against a black background, the falcon-headed god Ra-Harakhty stands majestically while observing the musician's harmonious tribute. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring life to both human and animal figures with their expressive eyes and distinctive features. As we delve into Egypt's rich history and religious beliefs, this studio-shot image offers us a glimpse into their ancient civilization.
