EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of the Ka of Pharaoh Hor" from the 13th dynasty of ancient Egypt. Crafted from wood and standing at an impressive height of 170cm, this sculpture is a testament to the artistry and skill of its creators. The statue, housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, transports viewers back to a time when pharaohs ruled over ancient Egyptian civilization. The bearded figure exudes power and authority, with intricate details that highlight the craftsmanship involved in its creation. The rich colors adorning this piece add depth and vibrancy to its overall appearance. It serves as a reminder of how color played an essential role in ancient Egyptian art, symbolizing various aspects such as life, death, and divinity. Notably, this photograph captures not only the beauty but also the nudity present in ancient Egyptian sculptures. The semi-nude portrayal reflects their belief in depicting human figures without inhibition or shame. The inclusion of a wig further emphasizes Pharaoh Hor's status and importance within society. Wigs were commonly worn by royalty during this era as symbols of wealth and prestige. Through this image captured by Jean Bernard, we are granted a glimpse into one aspect of ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It stands as both an archaeological treasure and a work of fine art that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
