EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trussed ibex foundation deposit made of faience, dating back to the Egyptian Third Intermediate Period (c. 1069-664 BC). Measuring 3.7 cm in length, this artifact is part of a private collection and was expertly captured by photographer eHeini Schneebeli. The trussed ibex foundation deposit holds significant cultural and historical value as it was traditionally buried in the corners of temples during construction. This practice aimed to provide protection and ensure the stability of these sacred structures. The intricate details of this amulet are truly remarkable. The ibex, an animal known for its majestic horns, is depicted with great precision and skill. Its body appears tied up or bound, symbolizing both protection and confinement. As we delve into the symbolism behind this ancient artifact, we can appreciate its significance within Egyptian culture. The horned creature represents strength, agility, and fertility – qualities that were highly revered by the Egyptians. This print not only captures a stunning piece of art but also offers us a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and spiritual beliefs. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors sought protection through various means while constructing their sacred spaces.
