EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient Egyptian civilization, specifically the Middle Kingdom. The focal point of the image is a beautifully painted wood statue of scribe Intef diligently recording the wheat harvest. Standing at a height of 11.70 cm, this intricate artwork exudes an aura of wisdom and craftsmanship. Atop the statue rests a fragment of a letter written in hieratic script, dating back to approximately 1120 B. C. This fragmentary correspondence was penned by Vizier Djehutymes and addressed to Imenhetep, offering us a glimpse into the administrative practices and communication methods prevalent during that era. The studio shot captures these two objects against a serene grey background, allowing their exquisite details to shine through without any distractions. The male likeness portrayed in this sculpture reflects not only artistic finesse but also serves as an important historical record. As we delve into this photograph's narrative, we are transported back thousands of years to Dynasty XVIII when Egypt flourished under its pharaohs' rule. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage left behind by our ancestors and highlights their mastery in art and craft. This image provides us with invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian society while showcasing their advanced writing system known as hieratic script – an intriguing non-western form of communication that has fascinated scholars for centuries.
