1. Title: Capital of a Palm Column from the Palace of Apries, Memphis (598-568 BC) 2. Description: This image showcases a fragment of a palm capital from the Palace of Apries in Memphis, Egypt, dating back to the Late Period, around 598-568 BC, during the 26th Dynasty. The Palace of Apries, named after Pharaoh Apries, was a significant royal residence and temple complex located in the ancient city of Memphis, the capital of Egypt during the Late Period. The capital, carved from limestone, features intricately decorated leaves and leaf buds that mimic the natural form of palm trees. The detail and craftsmanship evident in this fragment demonstrate the advanced level of Egyptian art and architectural techniques during this period. The capital once adorned one of the columns that supported the interior of the palace, adding to its grandeur and opulence. This fragment is now part of the esteemed collection at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The museum, dedicated to ancient art and antiquities, is home to numerous treasures from Egypt and other civilizations, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history and art. The palm tree, a symbol of strength and prosperity in ancient Egypt, adds to the historical significance of this capital. The intricate detail and the rich history of the Palace of Apries and its decorative elements make this fragment a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and architectural achievements of the ancient Egyptians.
