EDITORS COMMENTS
This relief, dating from the 4th century BC and attributed to the 30th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, showcases the portrait and cartouches of Pharaoh Nectanebo II. The intricately hand-carved limestone piece, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a close-up view of the monarch's regal profile. Nectanebo II is depicted wearing the traditional Egyptian headdress, complete with the uraeus serpent and the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. The cartouches surrounding his image are adorned with hieroglyphics, which represent his royal name and titles. The relief's background is a striking black, creating a dramatic contrast against the intricate carving. This masterpiece, created during the Mizraim (30th) Dynasty, is a testament to the artistic skill and heritage of ancient Egyptian art. The relief's provenance is unknown, adding to its mystique and allure. The intricate details and precise execution of this relief are a reminder of the rich artistic legacy of ancient Egypt and the enduring fascination it holds for scholars and art lovers alike.
