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. The image captures not only architectural beauty but also serves as a testament to ancient Egyptian artistry and craftsmanship. The intricate floral design adorning this column reflects both nature's elegance and human creativity. It offers us a glimpse into a civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. Preserved through time and now immortalized in this lithograph print, this archaeological wonder invites us to appreciate its historical significance and marvel at its enduring allure. Whether you are an enthusiast for archaeology or simply captivated by ancient civilizations' splendor, this print transports you back centuries while adding a touch of timeless charm to any space it graces.
