EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning high relief print showcases a triad of Pharaoh Menkaure (also known as Mycerinus) and two goddesses: Hathor and the deity of the Aphroditopolis nome. Dated back to 2490 BC during the Old Kingdom period of Ancient Egypt, this relief is part of a series dedicated to the Egyptian cities that venerated Hathor as their main divinity. The left detail of the relief is a captivating depiction of Hathor, the goddess of love, beauty, music, and dance. She is often represented with the horns of a cow on her head and a solar disc between them. In this representation, Hathor is shown wearing a elegant headdress adorned with a sun disc and cow horns, and her arms are outstretched in a welcoming gesture. Her face is serene and radiant, reflecting her role as a goddess of joy and fertility. The triad of Menkaure and the two goddesses is a common motif in Ancient Egyptian art, emphasizing the close relationship between the pharaoh and the gods. The relief's high quality and intricate details are a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the ancient Egyptian civilization. This print is a valuable historical and artistic treasure, providing a glimpse into the religious and cultural practices of Ancient Egypt. It is currently housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among scholars and visitors alike.
