EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, titled "Standard-bearer with ram-headed standard". Crafted from cariob wood during the New Kingdom period (c. 1567-1085 BC), this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 42.2 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The photograph, skillfully captured by Peter Willi, allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this Egyptian treasure. The standard-bearer depicted here holds a striking pose, exuding strength and authority as he proudly displays his ram-headed standard. Symbolizing power and divinity, the ram's head represents Amon - one of Egypt's most revered gods. The craftsmanship evident in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring; every curve and line meticulously carved into the cariob wood speaks volumes about the talent and dedication of its creator. Through this image, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when such standards were carried into battle or used ceremonially during religious processions. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at how it has withstood the test of time – surviving countless generations to now grace our modern eyes with its presence. It serves as a reminder that art not only reflects society but also preserves history for future generations to admire and learn from. Peter Willi's photographic expertise beautifully captures both the grandeur and intricacy of this ancient artifact without compromising any copyright restrictions associated with commercial use.
