EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable stone stele adorned with demotic script, originating from the Late Period of Egyptian civilization. The intricate details and symbolism depicted on this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. Written in ink, the demotic script tells a story of its own, while the central focus lies on a black solar disk with majestic spread wings. The Serapeum, where this magnificent piece was discovered, holds great historical significance as it served as an important religious center during ancient times. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of communication and cultural exchange that occurred within Egypt's rich past. The studio shot emphasizes every fine detail etched into the stone surface, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship and artistic expression of this ancient culture. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely drawn towards this single object that represents traditional Egyptian culture at its finest. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to explore non-western scripts and animal imitations prevalent in ancient Egyptian art forms. It serves as a powerful reminder of how civilizations have evolved over centuries but still manage to leave behind remnants that continue to captivate our imagination today.
