This print showcases a remarkable relief on a shrine erected by Pharaoh Taharqa in the court of the Temple of Amun at Kawa in Nubia. Dating back to the 25th Dynasty, Late Period of ancient Egypt (690-64 BC), this sandstone masterpiece is an exquisite example of Egyptian artistry. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to marvel at the craftsmanship and skill of the Egyptian artisans who created it. The relief features hieroglyphics, symbolic motifs, and profiles that tell stories from their rich mythology. Each stroke carved into the stone brings forth a sense of reverence for their pantheon of gods.
