EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Hathor, the nurturing goddess of ancient Egypt, tenderly nurses Pharaoh Horemheb in this low relief fragment displayed at the Museo Archeologico in Florence. Dating back to the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom era (1319-1292 BCE), this remarkable artwork captures a significant moment in Egyptian mythology and history. The image showcases Hathor, often depicted as a cow or with bovine attributes, providing sustenance and care to Pharaoh Horemheb. As an important figure in Egyptian society, pharaohs were believed to possess divine qualities and their well-being was crucial for maintaining balance within the kingdom. This intriguing piece offers insights into both physiological and psychological aspects of ancient populations. Nursing represented not only physical nourishment but also symbolized protection, guidance, and spiritual connection between deities and mortals. It highlights the significance of motherhood and its role in shaping societal beliefs during that time. As we delve into Egypt's rich cultural heritage through this artwork from Alinari's collection dating back to 1920-1930 CE, it serves as a reminder of Africa's ancient civilization. The craftsmanship exhibited here exemplifies the mastery achieved by artists during Egypt's prosperous New Kingdom period. By exploring fragments like these preserved at Museo Archeologico in Florence, we gain valuable insights into historical narratives that shaped human existence thousands of years ago. This print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its contribution to our understanding of ancient civilizations. "
