EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Funerary statuette of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris" from ancient Egypt's Late Period. Standing at an impressive height of 77.5 cm, this painted wooden statuette is housed in the Musee de Picardie in Amiens, France. The statuette represents a fusion of three significant Egyptian deities: Ptah, Sokar, and Osiris. Ptah was revered as the creator god and patron deity of craftsmen and artists. Sokar held dominion over the Memphite necropolis, while Osiris reigned as king of the underworld. Adorned with a plumed headdress known as an Atef crown and wearing a wig that cascades down its mummiform figure, this polychrome masterpiece exudes regality and mystique. The intricate painting on its surface adds depth to its already remarkable craftsmanship. Resting upon a box plinth, this funerary statuette serves as both a symbol of divinity and a vessel for spiritual protection in the afterlife. Its presence would have been integral to burial rituals during ancient Egyptian times. Preserved through time and now available for all to admire through Bridgeman Images' print collection, this artwork offers us an intriguing glimpse into Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It stands not only as a testament to ancient artistic skill but also as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with life beyond death.
