EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent granite head of Ptolemy VI, a prominent figure from the Egyptian civilization during the Ptolemaic Period in the 2nd century B. C. The statue exudes an aura of ancient grandeur as it stands against a striking black background. Despite its age and damage, this remarkable carving still manages to convey the rich history and cultural significance of Egypt. Taken in a studio setting, every intricate detail of this anthropomorphic face is beautifully captured, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. The male likeness depicted here transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into traditional culture and reminding us of our connection to the past. As an archaeological artifact, this granite sculpture holds immense historical value. It serves as a testament to Alexandria's prominence during that era and provides valuable insights into ancient Egyptian society. This image does justice to its subject matter by highlighting its uniqueness and preserving it for future generations. With no people present in the frame, we are left alone with this mesmerizing relic from antiquity. Its presence evokes curiosity about Ptolemy VI himself – his achievements, his reign, and his impact on Egyptian civilization. Through this photograph, we can appreciate both the artistry behind this piece and its significance within human history.
