This stunning print captures the intricate details of the Sarcophagus of the scribe Butehamon, dating back to 990-970 BC in ancient Egypt. The craftsmanship and artistry displayed on this wooden sarcophagus are truly remarkable, showcasing hieroglyphic decorations and painted scenes that tell a story of royalty and history.
The anthropoid shape of the sarcophagus gives us a glimpse into the beliefs and customs of ancient Egyptian burial practices, with its elaborate decoration symbolizing the importance placed on honoring the deceased. The varnished wood has stood the test of time, preserving this piece of antiquity for us to admire today.
