EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite owl figurine with a hieroglyphic inscription on the inner wall of the coffin belonging to steward Seni, from El Bersha, Egypt. Dating back to approximately 2000 BC during the Middle Kingdom period, this artifact is part of the Coffin texts that were believed to assist the deceased in their journey through the Underworld. The close-up shot beautifully captures every intricate detail of this ancient Egyptian treasure. The bird's brown plumage stands out against a backdrop of vibrant colors, highlighting its significance as a symbol of wisdom and protection in Egyptian culture. Displayed at the British Museum, this historic piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Egypt's rich heritage and beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. The hieroglyphics adorning the coffin provide valuable insights into Seni's role as both Steward and Chief Physician during his lifetime. Photographed by CM Dixon in stunning clarity, this image transports viewers back thousands of years to a time when these artifacts held immense spiritual importance. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites contemplation about life's mysteries that transcend time itself.
