EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sarcophagus of Wennefer, a remarkable piece dating back to 380-332 BC. Crafted from granite by Egyptian artisans during the Late Period, this magnificent sarcophagus measures an impressive 258 centimeters in length and is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The intricate decoration on this ancient artifact tells a story of belief and reverence for the afterlife. Adorned with hieroglyphs, winged gods, and ornate motifs, it reflects the grandeur and artistic mastery of ancient Egypt. The presence of the sun disk symbolizes divinity while emphasizing the importance of light in guiding souls to their eternal resting place. Originally discovered in Saqqara within Wennefer's tomb located in Egypt's Memphite Region, this sarcophagus represents Dynasty 30-2nd Persian Period. Its elaborate design serves as a testament to both cultural practices surrounding death and burial rituals during that era. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at its exquisite craftsmanship.
