EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite interior background of Cammeo in sardonyx, famously known as the Farnese Cup. Housed within the esteemed National Archaeological Museum in Naples, this Ptolemaic masterpiece of glyptic art is a true testament to ancient craftsmanship and artistic finesse. The scene depicted in this artwork transports viewers back to the era of Ancient Egypt, specifically highlighting the significance of the River Nile. At its core stands a bearded figure, symbolizing the personification of the river's beneficial flood, holding a cornucopia overflowing with abundance and prosperity. Commanding attention at the center is Horus, an iconic deity revered by Egyptians for his association with kingship and protection. He is majestically surmounted by two male figures soaring through the air, representing none other than Etesii winds personified. Intriguingly positioned on the lower right side are two Nymphs accompanied by a Sphinx resting at their feet. These mythical creatures add an element of mystery and enchantment to an already mesmerizing composition. Captured between 1879-1910ca. , this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also admire its intricate details up close.

Steeped in Egyptian artistry and reflecting Africa's rich cultural heritage along with traces of ancient civilization, this cameo serves as a window into another time. Its presence within Naples' National Archaeological Museum ensures that visitors can marvel at its beauty while gaining deeper insights into humanity's artistic legacy throughout history.
