EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment of a limestone pillar showcases the powerful connection between Pharaoh Seti I and the Egyptian deity, Osiris. Dating back to the 19th Dynasty, around 1290 BC, this artifact hails from the grave of Seti I, located in the Valley of the Kings in West Thebes, Egypt. The intricately carved and polychromed pillar offers a glimpse into the rich religious beliefs and artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptians. Seti I, depicted in his royal attire with a nemes headdress and a false beard, stands in front of the god Osiris. The god, identified by his distinctive green skin and mummified form, is shown as the ruler of the underworld and the god of the dead. Seti I's reverence for Osiris is evident as he pays homage to the deity, emphasizing the importance of the afterlife in ancient Egyptian culture. The pillar's fragmented state is a reminder of the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the ancient civilization. Today, this precious artifact is preserved and displayed at the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany, offering visitors a rare opportunity to connect with the past and appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent piece of ancient art.
