EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, titled "Baboon on a Limestone Base". Created between 380-30 BC during the Egyptian 30th Dynasty, this piece is made of pale turquoise faience and measures approximately 10.00 cm in height, 4.50 cm in width, and 7.5 cm in depth. The baboon depicted in this artwork symbolizes wisdom and knowledge in ancient Egyptian culture. With its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, it serves as a testament to the artistic mastery of the time. Housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this precious gift was generously donated by Mrs. Noah L. Butkin. Its historical significance lies not only within its age but also as an example of antiquities from the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to a bygone era where wild animals held deep cultural symbolism for civilizations long past. This photograph captures both the beauty of the baboon sculpture itself and its rich historical context within ancient Egypt. As we admire this stunning image print, let us appreciate how art can transcend time and bring us closer to understanding our ancestors' beliefs and values while marveling at their extraordinary artistic achievements.
