EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, the "Gazelle" sculpture from the 18th Dynasty. Created between 1390-1353 B. C. , this exquisite artwork is crafted from elephant ivory and wood, with intricate blue-pigment inlay. Standing at a height of 11.5 cm, it can be found in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The delicate gazelle figure rests upon a wooden pedestal adorned with beautifully detailed plant motifs. Its naturalistic depiction captures the grace and elegance of this majestic creature, showcasing the exceptional carving skills of ancient Egyptian artisans. The use of ivory adds to its ornate appeal, while the blue-pigment inlay enhances its decorative value. The horned antelope represents an important symbol in ancient Egypt's cultural and religious beliefs. Attributed to Amenhotep III during his reign as part of the New Kingdom period (c. 1567-1320 BC), this artwork exemplifies the artistic prowess and attention to detail that characterized Egyptian craftsmanship. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an extraordinary work of art but also gain insight into the rich history and culture that thrived thousands of years ago along the banks of Nile River.
