EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Ibis Processional Standard, dating back to the Late Period of Ancient Egypt (664-525 B.C.), is a captivating example of the rich artistic heritage of this ancient civilization. The standard, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a masterpiece of bronze craftsmanship, depicting an ibis bird in a full-length, standing position. The ibis was a sacred bird in ancient Egypt, believed to be a symbol of the god Thoth, the god of wisdom and knowledge. The Ibis Processional Standard is a close-up view of the bird's profile, with its distinctive curved beak and long, slender legs. The bird is shown in a friendly and approachable posture, as if welcoming onlookers to come closer and appreciate its beauty. The intricate details of the feathers, textured skin, and beady eyes are expertly rendered, showcasing the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptian metalworkers. The Ibis Processional Standard is a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Egyptian art, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. The use of bronze as a medium for sculpture was a common practice during the Late Period of Ancient Egypt, and this piece demonstrates the mastery of the technique. The white background provides a clean and uncluttered backdrop, allowing the intricacies of the Ibis Processional Standard to take center stage. This image, from the collection of Heritage Images, is a studio shot that captures the essence of this ancient artifact, transporting us back in time to the shores of the Nile and the vibrant culture of ancient Egypt.
