EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Plaque of Maat, a faience sculpture from ancient Egypt's Late Period (715-332 BC). The artwork, now part of a private collection, is a testament to the profound significance of Maat in Egyptian culture. Maat represents the concept of truth, balance, and order in Ancient Egyptian belief. As personified by this goddess, she held authority over the stars, seasons, and actions of both mortals and deities alike. This plaque beautifully captures her essence through its meticulously carved details. The female deity is depicted kneeling gracefully with an air of serenity. Her posture exudes power and wisdom as she upholds the principles that govern existence itself. The craftsmanship involved in creating this statuette is truly remarkable. Through this photograph taken by eHeini Schneebeli and made available by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic mastery that flourished during ancient Egypt. The intricate carving on display here serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with divine beings and our eternal quest for harmony. As we admire this stunning piece from afar, let us reflect upon Maat's timeless message: that truth and balance are essential for maintaining order within ourselves and throughout the world around us.
