EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Column of Zawijet el Metin in Egypt, dating back to 1928. The composite column is composed of Nymphaea lotus, with a capital formed by an open calyx. Its origins trace back even further to the 6th Dynasty, around 2400-2300 B. C. , as it was discovered in the rock tomb of Chunes in Zavyet el Metin. Chunes himself holds an esteemed position, mentioned in inscriptions on his tomb as "Relation of the King, Lord of the Great House, Head of the Priests". This photograph is Plate III, figure 6 from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" accompanied by insightful text written by Helmuth Bossert.
