FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the revered Pharaoh Ramses IV (reign 1155-1151 BC) of the 20th Dynasty in ancient Egypt, standing in the divine presence of the king of gods, Amun. Housed in the esteemed Luxor Museum in Egypt, this masterpiece of Egyptian art dates back to the New Kingdom era. Ramses IV, adorned with the traditional nemes headdress and a false beard, signifying his royal status and divine connection, presents a serene and regal demeanor. The intricate details of his crown, adorned with feathers and precious stones, reflect the opulence and grandeur of the Egyptian Empire at its height. Amun, the primary god of Thebes and the king of gods, is depicted as a mummified figure wearing the iconic double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. His hands are raised in a gesture of blessing, emphasizing his divine protection and favor towards Ramses IV. This sculpture is a testament to the deep-rooted mythology and religious beliefs that permeated ancient Egyptian society. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the statues reflect the advanced artistic skills of the Egyptian artisans during the New Kingdom period. The historical significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic value but also in its representation of the complex relationship between the pharaoh and the gods in ancient Egyptian culture. The image of Ramses IV standing before Amun underscores the belief in the divine right of the pharaoh and the crucial role of the gods in the governance of the empire.
