EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief sculpture of the Pharaoh before Horus, the falcon-headed god, at the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt. Dating back to the Ptolemaic Period between 251 BC and 246 BC, this exquisite piece of art is a testament to ancient Egyptian religion and worship. Carved meticulously from stone with vibrant colors still visible today, this relief depicts a male figure believed to be a pharaoh standing in reverence before Horus. The intricate details highlight the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian sculptors. The Temple of Horus itself is an architectural marvel that served as a religious center during its time. Located in Edfu, near Aswan in present-day Egypt, it stands as one of the best-preserved temples from ancient times. This image offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and religious practices of ancient Egypt. It reminds us of their deep connection with gods and goddesses who played significant roles in their lives. As we admire this artwork captured by CM Dixon, we are transported back in time to witness an era where kings ruled as sovereigns and worshipped deities like Horus with utmost devotion. This print serves as both an archaeological treasure and an artistic masterpiece that continues to fascinate people around the world.
