EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of Re-Horakhty, dating back to the Third Intermediate Period-Late Period in ancient Egypt. Crafted during Dynasty 21-26 (approximately 1069-525 BCE), this bronze masterpiece represents the rich artistic heritage of Africa and the African continent. The statuette depicts a majestic falcon-headed deity, Re-Horakhty, seated in a regal posture. The intricate details and close-up view highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient Egyptian artwork. Made from copper alloy with gilding, it emanates an aura of divine power and religious significance. Re-Horakhty was considered one of the most important gods in Egyptian mythology, symbolizing creation and sun worship. As a bird of prey, he embodied strength and authority while representing both male gender and fertility. This statue not only serves as a testament to Egypt's glorious past but also reflects its deep-rooted religious beliefs. It is believed that such sculptures were used for ceremonial purposes or placed within temples as objects of veneration. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from an unknown artist, we are transported back thousands of years to witness the magnificence and splendor that once thrived in Middle Eastern lands like Mizraim (ancient Egypt). Let us cherish these remnants from our ancestors' world - tangible links to their faiths, cultures, and artistic expressions that continue to inspire awe even today.
