EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, known as the "Cosmetic spoon with a figure of a lutenist". Created during the New Kingdom period, specifically by the Egyptian 18th Dynasty between 1567 and 1320 BC, this wooden spoon stands at an impressive height of 13.1 cm. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this exquisite piece. The delicate figure depicted on the handle portrays a female lutenist, her fingers gracefully plucking at the strings of her instrument. This depiction offers us a glimpse into the musical culture that thrived in ancient Egypt. Currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this cosmetic spoon not only served practical purposes but also showcased artistic expression. Its ornate design and attention to detail make it an exceptional example of ancient Egyptian artistry. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years to witness both the beauty and functionality that coexisted within Egyptian society. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an integral role in human civilization – transcending time and connecting us to our ancestors' rich cultural heritage.
