EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-carved limestone sculpture depicts a mother lovingly cradling her child in a tender embrace, with the intricate details of their bodies skillfully rendered. The mother's robe is draped elegantly over her shoulders, revealing the delicate folds and textures of the fabric. The child, nestled against her chest, gazes up at his mother with a look of adoration and trust. The sculpture's back view reveals an intriguing detail: a serpent or reptile coiled around the mother's waist, symbolizing the ancient Egyptian goddess Wadjet, protector of the pharaoh and the mother goddess of childbirth and fertility. This mother and child sculpture is believed to date from the Late Roman Period to the Early Coptic Period (200-400 CE), a time when Christianity was spreading through Egypt and blending with ancient Egyptian beliefs. The sculpture's provenance is unknown, but it is now part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Carved in exquisite detail, this mother and child sculpture is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between parent and child and the rich artistic heritage of Egypt.
