EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the Naqada I Period dating back to 4000-3000 BC. The image features a Child's game of skittles made of various types of limestone and breccia stones. These beautifully crafted gaming pieces consist of four grey and white banded limestone blocks, two red and white banded limestone blocks, as well as three red and white breccia blocks. The intricate details in this archaeological find highlight the skillful craftsmanship of the Egyptian civilization during this predynastic era. The height of these skittles is approximately 9 inches, while the diameter ranges from 1 to 2¼ inches. Additionally, there are four diorite spherical balls included in this set. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine children joyfully engaging in play with these ancient gaming pieces. It serves as a reminder that games have been an integral part of human culture since time immemorial. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum within the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, this artwork represents not only historical significance but also artistic excellence. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail through their lens, preserving this remarkable piece for generations to come. As we admire this photo print, we can't help but appreciate how games have transcended time and continue to bring people together across different eras and cultures worldwide.
