EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sarcophagus of Psamtik I, a prominent pharaoh from the Late Period of ancient Egypt. Crafted with painted wood and adorned with intricate hieroglyphs, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Egyptian 26th Dynasty. The sarcophagus stands as a remarkable symbol of power and prestige, reflecting the opulence that surrounded Pharaoh Psamtik I during his reign from 664 to 610 BC. The hieroglyphics etched onto its surface tell stories of gods, goddesses, and sacred rituals, offering glimpses into the religious beliefs and customs of this era. Intricately detailed paintings further enhance the beauty of this artifact. Each stroke brings to life scenes depicting Maat - the ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, and justice - ensuring that Pharaoh Psamtik I would be guided by these principles in his journey beyond death. Preserved at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Grenoble, France, this extraordinary piece has been captured flawlessly by Peter Willi's lens. His skillful photography allows us to appreciate every minute detail while immersing ourselves in the grandeur and mystique surrounding ancient Egypt. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when pharaohs ruled over vast lands and divine symbolism was intricately woven into every aspect of their existence. This print serves as a window into history itself – an invitation to explore one
