EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Double-Sided Votive Relief from the Greco-Roman Period, dating back to 305-30 BC. Carved out of limestone by Egyptian artisans during the Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BC), this exquisite artifact measures 6.5x8.3x1.4 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The obverse side of this relief can be seen in image 490745, while this particular image captures its reverse side. The intricate craftsmanship is evident as it depicts a dog with a keen sense of smell, captured mid-stride with its snout held high. The sculpture beautifully captures the essence of these loyal animals, showcasing their expressive face and delicate whiskers. Although broken and fragmented over time, this bas-relief still exudes an aura of ancient Egypt's rich history and culture. It also features what appears to be a walking stick or cane beside the dog, adding another layer of intrigue to its narrative. Gifted to the museum by the John Huntington Art and Polytechnic Trust, this artifact serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations and their reverence for animals. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the skillful artistry behind its creation and its significance within Egyptian society during that era.
