EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of ancient Egyptian plaques from the Late Dynastic Period. The plaques, made of faience, depict three significant deities: Maat, Nephthys, and the sons of Horus. Maat symbolizes truth and justice in Ancient Egyptian culture. As a goddess, she governed not only the actions of mortals but also regulated the stars and seasons. Nephthys is her divine counterpart or completion and is often associated with her sister Isis. Lastly, Horus holds immense importance as the god of both sky and war. The craftsmanship displayed in these plaques is truly remarkable. Each figure is meticulously carved into a female kneeling position, showcasing their reverence to these powerful deities. The statuettes of a jackal (Duamutef), baboon (Hapi), hawk (Qebehsenuef), along with Maat herself are beautifully depicted alongside Nephthys and Horus. Measuring between 4.5-7 cm in height, these plaques are part of a private collection that has preserved them throughout history. This photograph by eHeini Schneebeli allows us to appreciate their artistic value while providing insight into ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. With its rich symbolism and exquisite artistry, this print serves as a testament to Egypt's profound cultural heritage during the Late Dynastic Period.
