EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragmentary statue of Harsiesis, an Egyptian deity also known as Horus. Crafted during the 17th Dynasty (c. 1571-1540 BC), this basalt sculpture is now housed in the Museo Barracco in Rome, Italy. The image, captured by Stefano Baldini and made available by Bridgeman Images, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient artwork. Despite its broken state, the half-shiny black falcon figure exudes a sense of power and majesty. The smooth surface of the basalt adds to its allure, highlighting every intricate detail meticulously carved into it centuries ago. This fragment serves as a poignant reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs. Harsiesis was revered as one of Egypt's most significant gods associated with kingship and protection. Depicted here with falcon wings outstretched, he symbolizes divine authority and strength. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact from afar, we can't help but marvel at its craftsmanship and wonder about the stories it holds within its fragmented form. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era when gods walked among mortals and worshipped deities held immense influence over daily life in ancient Egypt. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and our relentless pursuit to preserve fragments of our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
