EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and striking print showcases a remarkable Mosaic falcon head inlay dating back to the Egyptian Ptolemaic Period, specifically from the 2nd to 1st century BC. The intricate details of this ancient artwork are truly captivating. The mosaic falcon head, measuring at 2.3x1.8 cm, features a profile view of a bird of prey facing left. The artist skillfully crafted the face using opaque white glass with a mesmerizing red eye and translucent amethyst pink markings that bring life to its expression. This stunning piece is set within an opaque cobalt blue matrix, which further enhances its boldness. The combination of yellow, stripy patterns adds an element of playfulness to this decorative masterpiece. Each tile meticulously placed contributes to the overall ornate design and colorful aesthetic. As we admire this exceptional work, it transports us back in time to ancient Egypt where such artistry flourished. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of that era. Displayed here is just one example from a private collection; however, it represents countless other magnificent pieces that have survived through history for our admiration today. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this extraordinary mosaic falcon head inlay from ancient Egypt's past.
