EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient world - a stopper in the form of the king's head, discovered in one of the four canopic urns within Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb. Unearthed in the Valley of the Kings, Thebes, Egypt, this exquisite piece takes us on a journey back to an era steeped in mystery and grandeur. Carved meticulously out of alabaster, this treasure serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and artistic prowess of ancient Egyptians. Its intricate details bring forth an awe-inspiring representation of royalty, with every contour and feature expertly chiseled into stone. As we gaze upon this vertical photograph, we are transported into Tutankhamun's burial chamber itself. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows upon its surface, enhancing its ethereal beauty. The color image allows us to appreciate every nuance and hue that adorns this precious artifact. Standing alone as a single object against an indoor backdrop, it exudes both power and fragility simultaneously. This canopic jar stopper encapsulates not only history but also our collective fascination with Egyptian civilization. Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time through his lens. His photography invites us to explore distant lands and delve deeper into cultures long gone by.
