EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient Egyptian civilization. The plastron, or front piece, is beautifully crafted and adorned with painted stucco. It originates from Antinous (El Sheikh Ibada), dating back to the 2nd-3rd century A. D. The intricate details of this female mummy's plastron are truly mesmerizing. Delicate brush strokes bring life to the stucco, creating an exquisite work of art that has stood the test of time. This studio shot captures every nuance and texture, allowing us to appreciate the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artists. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic value but also in its historical context. Antinous was once known as Antinoupolis, a city founded by Emperor Hadrian in honor of his beloved companion Antinous. As we gaze upon this plastron, we can't help but wonder about the woman it belonged to - her story lost in time yet preserved through this tangible fragment. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into Egypt's rich cultural heritage and their profound reverence for beauty and symbolism. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, these remnants continue to inspire awe and fascination among those who encounter them. This image is part of Universal Images Group (UIG)'s collection which offers us an opportunity to delve into history without commercial intentions – simply appreciating the marvels left behind by our ancestors.
