EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Bust of Ankh-Hor" a remarkable sculpture from the Late Period in ancient Egypt, dating back to 525-404 BC. Carved out of basalt, this artifact is attributed to the Egyptian 27th Dynasty and measures approximately 21.5x15 cm. It currently resides at the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The bust depicts Ankh-Hor as a striding figure, with his arms positioned in such a way that suggests he once held a naos or shrine containing an image of a deity. The intricate details on this fragmentary statue reveal the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. Ankh-Hor's headdress, known as nemes, adds an air of regality to his appearance while emphasizing his status as a male figure within ancient Egyptian society. Despite being broken over time, this sculpture still exudes an aura of power and mystery. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic prowess and religious devotion that characterized ancient Egypt. This piece serves as both an archaeological treasure and testament to human creativity throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for capturing this stunning representation of Ankh-Hor's bust - it allows us all to appreciate and admire the beauty preserved within these ancient artifacts.
