EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of the God Horus Making a Drink Offering" from the Third Intermediate Period in ancient Egypt. Created during the 22nd Dynasty, around 750 BC, this bronze masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The statue depicts Horus, son of Osiris and Isis, who was considered to be a divine falcon god. In this representation, he stands tall with his distinctive half-man and half-bird form. Adorned with an elaborate wig and hawk-like features, Horus exudes power and grace. In Egyptian mythology, Horus was believed to be incarnated within every living pharaoh. As such, this statue symbolizes not only religious devotion but also represents the divine authority bestowed upon rulers during that era. The intricate details captured by Bridgeman Images bring out the timeless beauty of this ancient artifact. The craftsmanship exhibited in its creation serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of Egyptian sculptors from centuries ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the reverence bestowed upon gods like Horus by one of history's most fascinating civilizations.
