EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the ancient artwork titled "Sobek and Amenhotep III". Created between 1403-1365 BC, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. The photograph, taken by Stefano Baldini, captures every nuance of this remarkable sculpture made from calcite. The image reveals a mesmerizing scene featuring Sobek, the crocodile-headed god associated with fertility and protection, alongside Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs. The stone crown adorning Amenhotep III's head symbolizes his royal status and divine connection. This detail exemplifies the importance placed on religious symbolism in ancient Egyptian culture. The presence of reptiles further emphasizes Sobek's association with water and its life-giving properties. As both men stand near the river Nile, it serves as a reminder of its significance in sustaining life in ancient Egypt.
