EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite inlaid figurine of the god Nefertum, crafted from bronze during the Late Period of ancient Egypt (715-332 BC). Standing at a height of 15.1 cm, this remarkable piece is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and artistry of this fascinating civilization. Nefertum, known as the god of Memphis, was believed to be the son of Ptah and Sekhmet. Adorned with a nemes headcloth and a false beard, this male figure exudes regality and power. The intricate details on his carved sabre add to his divine presence. One cannot help but be captivated by Nefertum's lotus headdress, symbolizing rebirth and creation in Egyptian culture. This delicate adornment perfectly complements his majestic appearance. The inclusion of the khepesh - an ancient Egyptian weapon resembling a sickle sword - further emphasizes Nefertum's connection to warfare and protection. Through this photograph by eHeini Schneebeli, we are granted access to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this bronze figurine but also its historical significance within Egyptian mythology. As it is out of copyright, we can freely explore its beauty without any commercial implications. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exceptional visual representation that allows us to delve into the wonders of ancient Egypt through their fine art finder collection.
