EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - the Shabti figure of Ramesses IV. Crafted during the New Kingdom era, this stuccoed and painted wooden sculpture stands at an impressive height of 32.5 cm. Currently housed in the prestigious Louvre museum in Paris, France, it is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of Egyptian civilization. The figure depicts Ramesses IV, a pharaoh who reigned during the 20th Dynasty from 1200 to 1085 BC. Adorned with intricate hieroglyphics and wearing an elaborate headdress, this shabti serves as a representation of the pharaoh's power and authority. Shabtis were funerary figurines placed in tombs to accompany and serve their owners in the afterlife. Also known as ushabtis or shaouabtis, these small statues were believed to come alive when called upon by their masters to perform manual labor on their behalf. Through its exquisite craftsmanship and symbolic significance, this shabti figure offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with historical artifacts that have managed to withstand the test of time. Captured beautifully by photographer Peter Willi, this image invites viewers to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and its cultural importance within Egyptian history.
