EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sarcophagus of Pabasa, an exquisite piece from ancient Egypt's 26th Dynasty. Crafted in stone and measuring 120x240x75 cm, this burial artifact is currently housed in the Art Gallery and Museum at Kelvingrove, Glasgow. The sarcophagus bears a total of 22 hieroglyphic inscriptions on both its body and cover. These inscriptions reveal significant details about Pabasa's lineage as well as his role as the Great Steward to Nitocris, daughter of King Psamtek I. Among the inscribed names are those of Pabasa's father Padibast and mother Tasenetenho. The intricate carvings adorning this sarcophagus reflect the mastery of Egyptian funerary art during that era. The incised hieroglyphs tell stories of power, royalty, and reverence for the deceased. Each stroke represents a symbol or word carefully chosen to honor Pabasa's life and ensure his journey into the afterlife. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to ancient Egypt—a civilization shrouded in mystery yet renowned for its rich cultural heritage. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with death rituals and our desire to leave behind lasting legacies for future generations to admire.
