EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Shabti figure from the New Kingdom era of ancient Egypt. Crafted out of painted wood during the reign of Ramesses II, this 19th Dynasty artifact measures 22.5x5.65 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The Shabti figure holds great significance in Egyptian funerary practices as it was placed in tombs to assist the deceased in their journey through the afterlife. Adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and wearing a nemes headdress, this mummiform sculpture exudes an aura of mystique and reverence. Its hands hold both a flail and an oushebti, symbolizing authority and servitude respectively. The attention to detail is evident not only in its craftsmanship but also in the delicate painting that adorns its surface. This photograph beautifully captures every nuance of this awe-inspiring piece, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical importance and artistic brilliance up close. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when these figures were believed to possess magical powers capable of aiding souls on their eternal journey. Through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we have been granted access to explore this extraordinary relic from ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage without any commercial restrictions – truly making history come alive before our eyes.
