EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning ancient Egyptian plaque, dating back to the New Kingdom period around 1569-1081 BCE, showcases the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The unidentified creator masterfully crafted this piece using faience, a type of ancient ceramic material made from ground quartz and natron, and then decorated it with tin glaze. The central focus of the plaque is a magnificent bird with wings spread wide, believed to represent the god Mizraim or the falcon god Horus. The bird's wings are meticulously detailed, with each feather rendered in exquisite detail. The beige background adds a warm, earthy contrast to the vibrant colors of the bird and the intricate patterns adorning its body. The plaque is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt and the advanced techniques used during the New Kingdom period. It is a rare and valuable example of the intricate ceramics produced during this time, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Egyptian art on world culture. This image is a close-up studio shot of the plaque, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricacies of the design and the exceptional craftsmanship of the piece. It is currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors from around the world.
