EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sarcophagus of Pabasa, a significant artifact from ancient Egypt's 26th Dynasty. Crafted from stone and measuring an impressive 120x240x75 cm, this burial container holds great historical and cultural importance. Belonging to Pabasa, the Great Steward to Nitocris, daughter of King Psamtek I, this sarcophagus is adorned with intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions. In fact, there are a total of 22 inscriptions on both the sarcophagus and its cover. These inscriptions include the names of Pabasa's father Padibast and his mother Tasenetenho. The detailed carvings on the sarcophagus depict scenes that provide valuable insights into ancient Egyptian funerary practices and beliefs. The hieroglyphs tell stories about Pabasa's lineage and role as a steward in Nitocris' court. Currently housed at the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow, Scotland, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and artistic legacy. Its presence allows visitors to connect with an era long gone but still preserved through these beautifully incised hieroglyphics. Through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, viewers can appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved in creating such an elaborate sarcophagus but also gain a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian culture and their reverence for life after death.
