EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wooden model from ancient Egypt's Middle Kingdom, dating back to approximately 2040-1750 BC. The intricate craftsmanship of this artifact depicts a man diligently ploughing the land with the assistance of oxen. Originally placed in a tomb, this model symbolizes the significance of agriculture and its connection to life and death in Egyptian culture. The image beautifully captures the essence of an ancient occupation - that of a skilled ploughman tending to his country's fertile soil. The vibrant colors used on this wooden masterpiece bring it to life, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical importance. Displayed proudly within the renowned British Museum, this artifact serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the distant past. It offers invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian society, where agriculture played a pivotal role in sustaining communities and providing food for both the living and those who had passed on. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years ago when these models were created with meticulous attention to detail. They served not only as representations of daily life but also as symbols representing concepts such as occupation, profession, and even afterlife beliefs. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we can now admire these extraordinary artifacts from afar while appreciating their cultural significance within our shared human heritage.
