EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Basalt statue of Sebekhotep, Pharaoh of the XIII dynasty, which is proudly displayed in the renowned Louvre Museum in Paris. Dating back to the Thirteenth Century during Egypt's Second Intermediate Period, this extraordinary piece of Egyptian art stands as a testament to Africa's ancient civilization. The statue showcases intricate details that highlight both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Sebekhotep is depicted wearing a striking headdress that symbolizes his civilian, military, and religious roles. The carefully crafted accessories adorning his regal attire offer a glimpse into the fashion and clothing styles of that era. The male figure portrayed here stands tall and proud with an air of authority befitting a pharaoh. Even though his body is nude, it exudes strength and power while emphasizing various parts such as his ears and face. This portrait reflects not only Sebekhotep's physical attributes but also delves into Egyptian mythology surrounding their revered leaders. Dating back to 1908 when this photograph was taken by Alinari Fratelli, it immortalizes an artwork created between 1794-1648 BCE approximately.
