Cairo Cracked Damaged Drink Headwear Leisure Mural One Man Only Traditional Clothing Traditional Culture Turban Waist Up Wine Glass Archaeological Artifact

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a mural painting from the ancient Fatimid civilization, dating back to the 10th-12th century in Fustat. Despite its damaged state, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into the rich history and traditional culture of this bygone era. In the image, we see a waist-up depiction of an individual adorned in traditional clothing and headwear, characteristic of the Fatimid civilization. The man holds a wine glass delicately in his hand, symbolizing leisure and indulgence. His turban adds an air of elegance to his appearance as he gazes thoughtfully at something beyond our view. The cracked surface of the mural serves as a reminder of time's passage and the fragility of archaeological artifacts. Yet even in its fragmented form, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and artistic craftsmanship. Located in Cairo, Egypt, this piece is part of an extensive collection that sheds light on one person's life during ancient times. It transports us back centuries ago when food and drink were enjoyed with sophistication and appreciation for tradition. As we admire this vertical print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate how it connects us to our past while reminding us that art transcends time itself.
