EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning ancient Egyptian plaque, hailing from the New Kingdom period around 1569-1081 BCE, showcases the exquisite artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but it is believed to originate from the region of Mizraim, Egypt. The plaque is made of faience, a type of ceramic material that was commonly used during this era. The surface of the plaque is adorned with intricate, colorful designs, including a sleeping animal, likely a bull or a ram, depicted in a state of peaceful repose. The animal's eyes are closed, and its body is curled up, conveying a sense of tranquility and serenity. The plaque's surface is covered in a glaze, with shades of turquoise dominating the color palette. This close-up image provides a glimpse into the intricate details of the design, showcasing the delicate lines and precise application of the glaze. The plaque is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, adding to its rich cultural heritage and significance in the history of ancient Egyptian art.
