EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of an Egyptian antiquity: a sphinx carved in alabaster, believed to be from the reign of Tutankhamun. Dating back to 1347-1339 BC, this remarkable piece is housed in the Luxor Egyptian Art Museum, located in the ancient city of Luxor. The sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human or animal, holds great significance in Egyptian culture and mythology. This particular sculpture exemplifies the mastery and skill of ancient Egyptian artisans who meticulously carved every intricate detail into the precious alabaster stone. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when pharaohs ruled over Egypt's vast empire. The sphinx stands as a symbol of power and wisdom, guarding sacred sites and tombs throughout ancient Egypt. The soft glow emanating from the alabaster creates an ethereal ambiance around this magnificent work of art. Its smooth surface reflects light beautifully, highlighting its delicate features while also showcasing its weathered history. Through this photograph captured by Photo Josse, we have been granted access to admire and appreciate one small fragment from Egypt's rich archaeological heritage. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, these treasures continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for their timeless beauty.
