EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Foreigners in a Procession, c. 1345 BC" showcases a remarkable piece of painted limestone from the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. This artwork, measuring 53.5 cm wide, is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Believed to be from Amarna (Akhetaten) Middle Egypt or Hermopolis (Ashmunein; Khemenu), this masterpiece belongs to the New Kingdom 18th dynasty and specifically represents the Amarna Period during the reign of Akhenaten. Intriguingly, one can observe that the third attendant depicted in this procession is typically Nubian. It is known that Nubians served as mercenaries in the Egyptian army during ancient times. The image captures a momentous scene featuring carved chariots and triumphant figures with African features. The attendants are shown holding ceremonial sunshades while fans are used to create an aura of grandeur around them. This stunning relief carving offers us a glimpse into ancient Egypt's rich history and royal traditions. The regal pharaoh can be seen leading this majestic procession, firmly grasping the reins as he commands his entourage. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this artwork serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural exchange between Egypt and its neighboring regions such as Nubia (Kush). As we admire this extraordinary piece, it transports us back thousands of years ago when processions like these were held to
