EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of the deity Horus, a mythological character of Egyptian origin. Created during the 7th or 6th century BC, this glass paste sculpture is a testament to the rich and ancient civilization of Carthage. The intricate carving and delicate details bring this childlike representation of Horus to life. The statuette, measuring just 4 cm in height, resides in the Musee National de Carthage in Tunisia. It serves as a fascinating link between two civilizations - Egyptian and Carthaginian - highlighting their cultural exchange and influences. As we gaze upon this artwork captured by Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back in time to an era when mythology played an integral role in people's lives. Horus, known as the god of youth and childhood among other attributes, holds great significance for both ancient Egyptians and Carthaginians. Through archaeology and artistry combined, this image offers us a glimpse into the past; it allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the interconnectedness of different populations across history. This photograph is truly a treasure that invites contemplation on our shared human heritage while celebrating the beauty found within ancient Egypt's artistic legacy.
