EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Egyptian artifact known as the "Two part vessel in the form of a duck". Crafted from alabaster during the Middle Kingdom period (2040-1640 BC), this exquisite piece measures 25.2 cm in length and is currently held in a private collection. The vessel's design ingeniously mimics the graceful form of a duck, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized Egyptian art. The smooth curves and delicate features of the bird are expertly rendered, highlighting both its natural beauty and symbolic significance within ancient Egyptian culture. Alabaster, with its translucent qualities, adds an ethereal quality to this artwork. Its pale hue enhances the elegance of the vessel while allowing light to softly illuminate its surface. This creates an enchanting visual effect that further emphasizes its artistic merit. This photograph was captured by eHeini Schneebeli, offering viewers a close-up view of this extraordinary artifact. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for us to appreciate this masterpiece without any restrictions on personal use or commercial purposes. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the ingenuity and creativity of ancient Egypt's artisans. It serves as a reminder of their profound reverence for nature and their ability to transform everyday objects into works of art that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
