EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite hand and foot inlays from the New Kingdom era of ancient Egypt, specifically dating back to approximately 1388-1292 B. C. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these delicate glass artifacts are believed to have been created by the skilled artisans of the Egyptian 13th Dynasty. The first inlay features a hand sculpted from opaque blue glass, its long and slender fingers gracefully curled over. Positioned in a gesture of adoration, it exudes an air of reverence and spirituality. The second inlay depicts a left foot made from turquoise-colored glass, facing towards the right. Both pieces measure at their maximum length just 1 3/8 inches (3.5 cm), highlighting the intricate craftsmanship achieved on such a miniature scale. Part of a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate these rare archaeological treasures that offer insight into ancient Egyptian artistry and culture. The vibrant blue coloration of the hand and striking turquoise hue of the foot add an element of visual allure to these remarkable artifacts. Preserved through time, these fragments serve as tangible links connecting us with one of history's most fascinating civilizations – Ancient Egypt. Through their beauty and symbolism, they remind us not only of our shared human heritage but also inspire awe for those who lived thousands of years ago along the banks of the Nile River.
