EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of an ancient Egyptian chariot wheel. Made during the 18th Dynasty, which spanned from approximately 1567 to 1320 BC, this remarkable artifact is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The hub and spokes of this chariot wheel are meticulously crafted from elm and tamarix wood, with plaster and rawhide binding holding them together. Measuring a modest length of 29 cm, it is awe-inspiring to think about how these wheels were once part of a grand chariot that traversed the ancient city of Thebes. The attention to detail exhibited in this piece speaks volumes about the skill and artistry possessed by ancient Egyptian craftsmen. Each spoke has been carefully carved and fitted into place, creating a symmetrical pattern that radiates from the central hub. The use of different types of wood adds depth and texture to this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where chariots were symbols of power and prestige. It serves as a reminder not only of Egypt's rich history but also its technological advancements during that period. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like these, we can appreciate every minute detail without having to travel across continents or wait for special exhibitions. This image allows us to marvel at human ingenuity through centuries past while highlighting our shared cultural heritage.
