EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a Crocodile sculpture dating back to the Late Ptolemaic Period to Roman Period, specifically the 1st century BC-1st century AD. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece is made of coloured glass and measures approximately 6.2 cm in length. The crocodile's eyes are particularly striking as they have been expertly inlaid with white and black materials, adding an element of realism to its gaze. This exquisite work of art now resides in a private collection, where it continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. Crocodiles held great symbolic importance in ancient Egyptian culture, representing power, protection, and fertility. They were often associated with Sobek, the crocodile-headed god worshipped by Egyptians during this period. The craftsmanship displayed in this sculpture reflects the skill and artistic prowess of Egyptian artisans during that time. Thanks to eHeini Schneebeli's expert photography skills, we can now appreciate every intricate detail of this stunning artwork. Bridgeman Images has preserved this image for us all to enjoy without any copyright restrictions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing depiction of a crocodile from centuries past, we are transported back in time - marveling at the ingenuity and creativity that flourished within ancient civilizations like Egypt.
