EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of a hippopotamus, dating back to the 11th-12th Dynasty in ancient Egypt, around 2000 BC. Crafted from glass, this exquisite piece stands at an impressive size of 11x7.65x20 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The statuette portrays a symbol of power and royalty as it was commonly associated with Egyptian emblems during that era. The intricate details on the sculpture highlight the artist's skillful craftsmanship, capturing the essence of this magnificent creature with precision and finesse. In ancient Egyptian culture, hippos held great significance. They were often depicted as tomb figures or votive offerings due to their association with protection and fertility. This particular statuette also features other elements such as birds, wild animals, papyrus plants, and lotus flowers which further enhance its symbolic meaning. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Ali Meyer and made available by Bridgeman Images for non-commercial use only (as per copyright regulations), we are transported back in time to witness the artistic mastery of Middle Kingdom Egypt. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with art and our desire to preserve history through tangible artifacts like this stunning glass hippopotamus statuette.
