EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief, hailing from the Temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt, dates back to the 2nd century BC during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris, this temple is a testament to the rich mythological beliefs of ancient Egypt. At the center of this intricately carved relief stands the eye of Horus, a powerful symbol of protection, healing, and royal power in Egyptian mythology. The eye is depicted as a falcon's eye, encircled by the Udjat or Wedjat eye, which was believed to protect the wearer from harm and ensure the continuity of the pharaoh's power. The relief also features other mythological symbols, including the falcon god Horus, represented with the solar disk on his head, signifying his association with the sun god Ra. The image of Hapi, the god of the Nile, can be seen at the bottom of the relief, holding an offering table laden with food and other offerings. The intricate details of this relief showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptian civilization. It is a reminder of a time when mythology and religion played a central role in shaping the art, culture, and daily life of the people of Egypt.
