EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a recumbent lion amulet made of green faience. Dating back to the Late Period, specifically between 715 and 332 BC, this exquisite piece measures approximately 3.5 cm in length. The reclining lion depicted in this amulet exudes an aura of both power and tranquility. Its sleek form is beautifully captured in the vibrant green hue of the faience material, which was highly prized by the Egyptians for its durability and lustrous appearance. In Egyptian culture, lions held great significance as symbols of protection and strength. This amulet would have been worn or carried by individuals seeking divine safeguarding against malevolent forces or harmful energies. The attention to detail evident in this artwork exemplifies the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans. From the intricate facial features to the carefully rendered musculature, every aspect contributes to creating a lifelike representation that transcends time. Now preserved within a private collection, this recumbent lion amulet serves as a tangible link to an extraordinary civilization that flourished thousands of years ago along the banks of the Nile River. Through photographs like these, we are granted glimpses into their rich mythology and deeply ingrained beliefs - reminders that art has always played an integral role in shaping human history and understanding our collective pasts.
