EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing Egyptian artifact - a bronze receptacle lid designed to hold a deceased scorpion. The lid itself is adorned with intricate details, featuring the figure of a scorpion with human arms and the head of Isis-Hathor, symbolizing the powerful goddess Isis-Selk. This remarkable piece can be found in the esteemed collection of the British Museum. The image captures the rich colors and fine craftsmanship of this ancient relic, transporting viewers back to ancient Egypt. It serves as a testament to the deep religious beliefs and practices that were prevalent in this fascinating country. The lid's significance lies within its connection to Egyptian mythology and religion. Isis-Selk was revered as a deity embodying both maternal love (Isis) and protective power (Selk). The inclusion of her head on this bronze lid suggests that it was intended for use in religious rituals or burial ceremonies associated with scorpions. Photographed by CM Dixon, whose expertise brings out every minute detail, this print offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insights into Egypt's cultural heritage. With its historical importance and artistic value, this artifact reminds us of our shared human history while shedding light on ancient beliefs surrounding life after death.
