EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art and mythology. The image features an exquisite niche pediment from Anhas, Morocco, dating back to the Egyptian civilization's Coptic Period in the 6th-7th century. Standing out prominently is the depiction of Amphitrite, a prominent figure in Greek mythology, riding on a sea monster. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly awe-inspiring. Every intricate detail has been skillfully carved into this horizontal artwork. The female likeness of Amphitrite exudes power and grace as she confidently tames the mythical creature beneath her. Amphitrite herself holds great significance in both Greek and Egyptian cultures. In Greek mythology, she was known as a Nereid - one of the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris who ruled over the seas alongside their father Poseidon. This fusion between two ancient civilizations adds another layer of intrigue to this artistic masterpiece. As we delve deeper into this photo print, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an artistic creation; it symbolizes religious beliefs and cultural heritage intertwined with mythological narratives. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with fictional beings throughout history. While no people are present in this image, its presence alone speaks volumes about ancient Egyptian culture and its enduring influence on subsequent civilizations. This photograph transports us back to a time when art was not merely decorative but also served as a medium for storytelling and worship
