EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of King Djedefre, a remarkable piece from the Old Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Carved out of quartzite and dating back to approximately 2565-2558 BC, this sculpture is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of the Egyptian 4th Dynasty. Standing at a height of 26.5 cm, this regal bust portrays King Djedefre wearing a nemes headcloth adorned with an uraeus cobra, symbolizing his royal status as pharaoh. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight the skill and precision of its creator. King Djedefre was the son of Khufu (also known as Cheops), one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs who commissioned the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza. This portrait serves as a powerful representation of Djedefre's lineage and authority within ancient Egyptian society. Now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this masterpiece by Peter Willi offers viewers an opportunity to admire and appreciate ancient Egyptian artistry up close. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences worldwide, serving as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural heritage.
