EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, known as the Dagger of the New Kingdom. Created during the Egyptian 20th Dynasty, specifically between 1156 and 51 BC, this exquisite piece is crafted from wood and bronze. Measuring an impressive length of 32.4 cm, it currently resides in a private collection. The dagger's handle is adorned with intricate carvings depicting the head of Hathor, an important goddess in Egyptian mythology associated with love, beauty, and motherhood. This depiction adds a touch of divine elegance to an already stunning weapon. What makes this dagger even more fascinating are the inscriptions found on its blade. These hieroglyphic writings provide valuable insights into the time period it was created in and potentially reveal details about its purpose or significance within ancient Egyptian society. Photographed by eChristies Images and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this image allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this ancient weapon and its historical importance as a cultural artifact. It serves as a window into Egypt's rich history and offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
