EDITORS COMMENTS
This torso of a Ptolemaic King, dated back to the 1st century BC, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic Period. Discovered in Egypt, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States. Carved from basalt, this imposing figure showcases the regal bearing and muscular physique of a Pharaoh, reflecting the Hellenistic influence that characterized the Ptolemaic Dynasty. The torso is adorned with intricately inscribed cartouches, bearing the name and titles of a late Ptolemy, believed to be either Ptolemy VIII or Ptolemy XII. The cartouches are adorned with symbols of the gods Neo Dionysos and Dionysos XV, emphasizing the king's divine connection and power. The Ptolemaic Period, which spanned from 323-30 BC, was marked by a fusion of Egyptian and Greek cultures, resulting in a unique artistic style that can be seen in this statue. The age-old torso invites us to delve deeper into the history of this fascinating era, where Pharaohs ruled under the influence of Greek kings and gods. The intricate inscriptions and the powerful presence of the figure serve as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Egyptian art and the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
