EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to the ancient Egyptian civilization, offering a glimpse into their rich history and spirituality. The image features a papyrus from The Book of The Dead, depicting Anubis presiding over the weighing of souls during psychostasy. In this studio shot, we see a horizontal composition showcasing two individuals dressed in traditional clothing, representing only men as was customary in ancient Egypt. Anubis, with his distinctive jackal head, stands tall and imposing at the center of the artwork. His role as an Egyptian god associated with death and mummification is evident as he carefully balances the scales using an equal arm balance. The intricate illustration and painting on the papyrus are truly remarkable, highlighting the artistic prowess of ancient Egyptians. Hieroglyphs adorn every inch of this piece, adding depth to its significance within their culture. As we observe this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of Egypt's fascination with life after death and their belief in an elaborate journey through the afterlife. This artifact serves as a tangible link to our past and offers insight into how these ancient people perceived mortality. With its historical value and spiritual symbolism intertwined seamlessly within artistry and craftsmanship, this print encapsulates the essence of ancient Egyptian culture for all enthusiasts to appreciate without commercial use in mind.
