This print showcases a remarkable early Coptic wall mural depicting an angel. Originating from the ancient Christian monastery of Faras, which was established in 707 AD, this artwork holds immense historical and religious significance. Preserved by a team of dedicated Polish experts, these murals were safeguarded before the site succumbed to submersion by Lake Nasser after completion. The image captures the delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors that bring this angelic figure to life. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the Coptic artists who created it centuries ago. This piece of religious art now finds its home in Khartoum's National Museum, where it stands as a testament to early Christian culture.
