EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient Egyptian civilization - a diorite statue of young Sesostris III. The image focuses on the intricate detail of the statue's head, which is believed to have originated from Medamud during Dynasty XII. Despite its age, this carving has managed to retain its grandeur and allure. The front view of this damaged sculpture offers a glimpse into the majestic world of pharaohs and their opulent headdresses. With meticulous craftsmanship, every line and curve on this piece tells a story steeped in history. The hieroglyphs engraved on it further emphasize its significance as an archaeological artifact. Displayed indoors, this vertical portrait transports us back in time, reminding us of the rich artistic heritage that flourished during Egypt's New Kingdom era. This single object serves as a testament to human creativity and representation. As we gaze upon this male likeness carved in diorite, we can't help but marvel at how it has withstood the test of time. Although devoid of people today, it once stood as an emblematic symbol within society. This print invites us to explore not only ancient Egypt but also our own fascination with civilizations long gone by. It sparks curiosity about our shared past while celebrating art and craft through its exquisite depiction of Sesostris III's youthful visage.
