EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a naophorous statue from the Late Dynastic Period in ancient Egypt. The sculpture, made of basalt, belongs to the Egyptian 26th Dynasty which thrived between 664 and 525 BC. Measuring at 25x38x47 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image captures the lower body section of the statue, revealing its leg, arms, knee bent remains. Despite being broken and fragmented over time, one can still appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this piece. The seated figure's legs are folded in a traditional pose often seen in ancient Egyptian art. This position symbolizes relaxation and tranquility while also conveying a sense of reverence for religious rituals or ceremonies. Although only fragments remain, these remnants provide valuable insights into the artistic style and cultural practices prevalent during this period. The naophorus statue was likely used as an offering bearer within a temple or sacred space. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' high-quality photography by eHeini Schneebeli, viewers can admire this historical artifact up close and appreciate its significance within ancient Egyptian society.
