EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wooden headrest from ancient Egypt's First Intermediate Period. Crafted with exquisite skill and attention to detail, the headpiece of this headrest is carved in the shape of a pair of cupped hands. The delicate curves and smooth texture of the wood bring life to this unique sculpture. Measuring 12.2x22.4 cm, this artifact is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its cultural context. Dating back to approximately 2125-1975 BC, this wooden headrest offers a glimpse into the daily lives and customs of ancient Egyptians during that period. Headrests were commonly used by individuals as they slept or rested their heads, providing comfort and support. The intricate carving on this particular piece reflects the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The hands' cupping gesture symbolizes protection and care, suggesting that it was believed to provide restful sleep or serve as a guardian for dreams. As we admire this stunning work of art captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again how ancient civilizations continue to inspire us through their creativity and ingenuity even after thousands of years have passed.
