EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, the Blue-Painted Ibex Amphora from Malqata. Created during the reign of Amenhotep III in the 18th Dynasty, this pottery masterpiece dates back to approximately 1390-1353 BC. Standing at an impressive height of 39.5 centimeters, this amphora is adorned with intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. The white cream slip background serves as a canvas for stunning blue paint that forms elaborate patterns and designs. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the beautifully depicted ibex head on one side of the amphora. With its majestic horns and lifelike features, it adds a touch of elegance and symbolism to the piece. The handles on either side provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal, showcasing the ingenuity of ancient Egyptian artisans who seamlessly blended form with function. Hailing from Upper Egypt's Thebes region specifically Malqata, this amphora offers us a glimpse into the artistic prowess and cultural significance of ancient Egyptian civilization during the New Kingdom period. Now housed in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artifact stands as a testament to human creativity that transcends time. Its presence reminds us of our shared history and invites contemplation about our connection to those who came before us.
