EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, the Seated Baboon. Crafted during the Late Period of Egyptian history, specifically by the 26th Dynasty (664-525 BC), this faience sculpture stands at a modest height of 6 cm. The baboon, revered as an animal associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing in Egyptian mythology, exudes an air of mystique and intelligence. The intricate ceramic workmanship is evident in every detail of this piece. From its expressive facial features to its meticulously carved body posture, the artist has captured the essence and spirit of this enigmatic creature. The glossy blue-green glaze adds a touch of elegance to its overall appearance. Housed within a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate and admire this ancient masterpiece without having to travel back in time or visit museums. Its presence serves as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with animals throughout history. Thanks to eHeini Schneebeli's skillful photography, we can now marvel at every curve and contour that make up this seated baboon figurine. Bridgeman Images has once again provided art enthusiasts with access to extraordinary pieces like these that transcend time and space.
