EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the intricately decorated interior of the Ptolemaic Temple of Hathor and Maat at Deir el-Medina in Egypt. Dating back to the Ptolemaic Era, this ancient temple is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and religious practices of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The relief depicts a seated figure of the goddess Hathor, who is often represented as a cow goddess or as a woman with the horns of a cow on her head. She is shown wearing the solar disk and cow horns, symbolizing her role as the goddess of love, music, and fertility. The goddess Maat, represented as a woman with an ostrich feather headdress, is also shown seated beside Hathor. Maat is the goddess of truth, justice, and order, and is often depicted as holding an ankh, the symbol of life. Anubis, the jackal-headed god of embalming and mummification, is depicted standing before the two goddesses. Anubis is shown wearing the pschent crown, which represents the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, and holding a scepter and ankh. The double crux ansata, a symbol of eternal life, is also visible in the relief. The polychrome reliefs that adorn the interior of the temple are a marvel of ancient Egyptian art. The use of bright colors and intricate details adds to the temple's grandeur and reflects the advanced artistic techniques of the time. The temple's proximity to the Nile and its beautiful perspective make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient history and mythology.
