EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze figurine of the goddess Selkit with a scorpion body is a mesmerizing relic from ancient Egyptian civilization. Dating back to the Late Period, this exquisite piece stands at a height of 7.30 cm, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized this era. The sculpture depicts Selkit, also known as Serket or Selkis, an important deity in ancient Egyptian mythology associated with healing and protection against venomous creatures. The anthropomorphic representation of the goddess combines human and scorpion features seamlessly, highlighting the rich symbolism prevalent in Egyptian art. Resting on a pedestal adorned with ornate patterns, this single object serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Egyptians. The delicate headwear worn by Selkit adds an air of regality and divine authority to her female likeness. The inclusion of animal representation further emphasizes the significance placed on nature and its connection to spirituality in ancient Egypt. As one gazes upon this remarkable artifact, it transports them back in time to an era where gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance of such artifacts.
