EDITORS COMMENTS
This relief print, hailing from the ancient Egyptian Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, showcases an intricate and mythological scene from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. The central focus of the composition is a solar disk, encircled by a cobra with its distinctive hood raised, and the ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, suspended around its neck. Above the solar disk, a falcon with a double crown adorned with the symbol of the crux ansata, or the key of life, hovers. Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most successful pharaohs, ruled during the 18th Dynasty and is believed to have commissioned this temple complex as a memorial to her reign. The relief is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt, with its intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions and mythological symbols. The cobra, a powerful and ancient symbol of divine protection and rebirth, is depicted here as a guardian of the solar disk, a representation of the sun god, Ra. The falcon, a symbol of the pharaoh and the god Horus, is shown in his role as a protector and ruler. The double crown, a symbol of the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, further emphasizes the significance of this relief as a representation of the divine power and authority of the pharaoh. The intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the scene provide additional context, revealing the names and titles of the deities and the pharaoh herself. This relief is a reminder of the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt, a civilization that continues to captivate and inspire us to this day.
