EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Bronze head of the Egyptian god Ra, believed to have originated from the bow of a sacred boat. Despite its age and wear, this remarkable artifact still exudes an air of divine power and majesty. The only missing element is the solar disc that once adorned its forehead, symbolizing Ra's status as the sun god. Photographed against a striking black background in a studio setting, every intricate detail of this bronze masterpiece is highlighted. The beak-like shape adds an intriguing touch to Ra's visage, evoking images of ancient water transport vessels gliding through Egypt's mighty Nile River. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes evident that this object holds great religious significance for the Egyptians. It serves as a tangible representation of their deep devotion to Ra – the deity associated with creation and light. Now housed within the esteemed British Museum collection, this bronze head stands as both an artistic marvel and a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Its vibrant coloration hints at its former glory when it was blessed by countless worshippers in ancient times. Through capturing this extraordinary artifact in such exquisite detail, photographer CM Dixon has allowed us to connect with history on a profound level. This image invites us into another world – one where gods walked among mortals and boats were revered as sacred conduits between realms.
