EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite sculpture of an Ibis, dating back to approximately 1350 BC during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. The artwork, measuring 31.8x47 cm, is housed in the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum in Scotland. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wooden masterpiece features a squatting Ibis with its neck, head, beak, tail, and legs cast in solid bronze. The eyes are beautifully adorned with green glass inlays that add a touch of vibrancy to the piece. The ancient Egyptians held the Ibis bird in high regard due to its association with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing. This stylized carving pays homage to their reverence for this sacred creature. Carved from gilded wood material by skilled artisans of that era, this artifact not only serves as a testament to their craftsmanship but also offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. With its intricate details and lifelike representation captured through photography by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, this image allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate the beauty and significance of ancient Egyptian artistry.
