EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a mummy-case dating back to the 2nd century. The focus of this image is on the intricate depiction of Ram, the Zodiac sign, found on the inside of the case. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail and color used in this stunning artwork. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully captured the essence of Ram, with its majestic horns and gentle expression. This portrayal not only reflects their deep understanding of astrology but also their reverence for nature and animals. As we delve into Egyptian history, it becomes evident that death held great significance in their culture. Mummies were carefully preserved as they believed in an afterlife where one's soul would continue its journey. This mummy-case served as both protection for the deceased and a symbol of their beliefs. The location where this artifact was discovered remains unknown; however, it serves as a testament to Egypt's rich heritage and enduring legacy. Its presence reminds us that even centuries later, we can still marvel at ancient civilizations' artistry and wisdom. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon who have captured these invaluable artifacts through their lens, we are able to explore our past with greater clarity and appreciation for human ingenuity throughout time.
