EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a mesmerizing scene from ancient Egypt's rich history. Inherkhau, the esteemed Foreman of the Lord of the Two Lands in the Place of Truth, is depicted worshipping Sito, the powerful serpent God of the Underworld. Painted on a wall within his tomb in Deir el-Medina, Thebes, this remarkable artwork dates back to the 20th Dynasty (1200-1085 BC). Inherkhau's devotion is evident as he bows before Sito with reverence and awe. The intricate hieroglyphs surrounding them add an air of mystique and significance to their encounter. This painting offers a glimpse into Inherkhau's beliefs and aspirations for his afterlife. The artist skillfully portrays Sito as a majestic reptile, symbolizing both danger and protection in Egyptian mythology. With its sinuous body coiled around Inherkhau's feet, it represents divine power guarding him during his journey through the underworld. This image not only showcases exquisite craftsmanship but also provides valuable insights into ancient Egyptian religious practices and their perception of death. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for spiritual connection and immortality. Mary Jelliffe has masterfully captured this historical treasure through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between man and deity that continues to intrigue scholars and enthusiasts alike
