Created between 2311-2281 BC, during the 6th Dynasty of Egypt, this limestone masterpiece measures an impressive h:36.50 w:161.20 cm. Housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, it was generously gifted by the John Huntington Art and Polytechnic Trust. This extraordinary artifact transports us back to a time when farming and agriculture played a vital role in ancient Egyptian society. The relief depicts men engaged in pastoral activities as they bring desert animals into their farmsteads. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural practices of that era. With its intricate details and remarkable preservation, this relic from Saqqara exemplifies the artistic prowess of early dynasty 6 artists. The animals portrayed on this relief are not mere creatures but symbols representing prosperity and abundance for these ancient farmers.
