EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief carving depicts the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis, as she is believed to have appeared during the 19th Dynasty of Egypt, around 1200 BCE. The carving is a captivating work of art, intricately detailed and expertly executed, and is located in the Tomb of Pharaoh Seti II (KV15) in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor, Ancient Thebes, Egypt. Isis, the goddess of motherhood, magic, and fertility, is shown in her iconic headdress, adorned with the throne and horns of Hathor, and wearing a shekh el-melk, a royal nemes headdress. Her left hand is raised in a protective gesture, while her right hand holds an Ankh, the symbol of life. The goddess is depicted in profile, with her serene and enchanting features, exuding a sense of wisdom and nurturing power. The Tomb of Seti II is a testament to the grandeur and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The tomb was discovered in the late 19th century and has since captivated scholars and visitors alike with its intricate carvings and stunning frescoes. The relief carving of Isis is just one of the many masterpieces that can be found within its walls, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs of ancient Egypt. The Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile River, has long been a site of great significance for archaeologists and historians, as it is the burial place of many pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom of Egypt. The tombs in the valley are renowned for their elaborate decorations and treasures, which offer valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. The relief carving of Isis in the Tomb of Seti II is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable civilization and its artistic and religious traditions.
