This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art and craft - the Stone of Onnophis. Dating back to the Ptolemaic period, specifically between 51-30 BC, this limestone detail depicts Cleopatra VII, the iconic queen of Egypt, making a religious offering to Isis, the revered Egyptian goddess. The image is captured in stunning detail against a striking blue background. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur and significance of this historical artifact. With no people present in the frame, all attention is drawn towards Cleopatra's female likeness as she engages in this sacred act.
