EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite wooden dog mask representing the ancient Egyptian deity, Anubis or Qebehsenouf. Belonging to the 19th dynasty (1295-1186 BC), this artifact is housed in the renowned Musee du Louvre in Paris, France. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident as every curve and line of this mask brings it to life. Anubis, often depicted with a canine head, was revered as the god of embalming and protector of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology. This mask serves as a powerful symbol of his presence during funeral rituals and ceremonies. Its significance lies not only in its religious importance but also as a testament to the advanced artistic skills possessed by ancient Egyptians. The use of wood for creating this masterpiece adds warmth and richness to its overall appearance. The delicate antler-like features on top further enhance its allure, while the walking stick or cane held by Anubis adds an intriguing element to his persona. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from antiquity, we are transported back thousands of years into Egypt's glorious past. It reminds us that art has always been a medium through which civilizations express their beliefs and values across time. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty of ancient Egyptian culture and our ability today to preserve such treasures for future generations' admiration.
