EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a schist statue of seated Osiris, discovered in the tomb of Psamtik at Saqqara. Belonging to the Late Period of Egyptian civilization, specifically Dynasty XXVI, this ancient artifact exudes an aura of mystique and reverence. The full-length statue depicts Osiris, the god of the afterlife and ruler of the underworld, sitting on a majestic throne. The sculpture's intricate details and craftsmanship are awe-inspiring. Its vertical composition emphasizes its grandeur and spirituality. Dressed in traditional clothing with elaborate headwear, Osiris is portrayed as a male figure with remarkable likeness. This single object transports us back to the 7th century BC during Egypt's 26th dynasty. As we gaze upon this archaeological treasure, we cannot help but feel connected to history itself. It serves as a tangible link to an ancient culture that revered gods and embraced religious beliefs deeply intertwined with their daily lives. Displayed indoors without any human representation around it, this schist statue stands as a testament to traditional Egyptian culture and their unwavering faith in divine entities. Its presence evokes contemplation about our own spiritual journeys while reminding us of the significance placed on religion throughout time. Through this photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are granted access to glimpse into Egypt's past - an era filled with antiquities that continue to captivate our imagination today.
