EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a carved dish with intricate duck motifs from the Early Dynastic Period in ancient Egypt. Crafted from siltstone, this remarkable piece measures 10.3x11.3 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK. The delicate carving depicts a beautifully rendered duck with its beak gracefully extended. Despite showing signs of age and wear, including an old break and incomplete form, the artistry remains awe-inspiring. A large pin can also be seen on the surface, adding to its historical significance. Dating back to approximately 2950 - 2575 BC during the Early Dynastic Period in Egypt's rich history, this artifact provides us with valuable insights into their artistic traditions and cultural practices. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such exquisite pieces. The fragmented nature of the dish only adds to its allure as it invites us to imagine what it once looked like when whole. As we admire this ancient Egyptian treasure captured forever in stone, we are reminded of our connection to humanity's past and how art continues to transcend time itself.
