EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of BOOK OF THE DEAD/25 showcases the intricate illustrations depicting the transformation of the deceased into mythical forms of the Sun-god. The Dove, Golden Hawk, and Divine Hawk are beautifully portrayed in this historical piece from ancient Egypt.
Each chapter in this book delves deeper into the religious beliefs and rituals surrounding death and rebirth in Egyptian culture. The symbolism behind each form represents a different aspect of the journey to the afterlife, with the ultimate goal being to join Ra, the Sun-god, in eternal paradise.
The attention to detail in these illustrations is truly remarkable, capturing not only the physical characteristics of each creature but also their spiritual significance. The artist's skill in bringing these mythical beings to life on paper is evident in every stroke.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a world where religion played a central role in everyday life. It serves as a reminder of our own mortality and encourages us to contemplate what lies beyond this earthly realm.
This print is not just a work of art; it is a window into an ancient civilization's beliefs and practices that continue to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
