EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sandstone relief from the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, dating back to approximately 1567-1320 BC. The artwork, measuring 20x35x9 cm, is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The scene depicted in this low relief piece portrays an intriguing glimpse into ancient Egyptian daily life. Despite its age, traces of red and yellow paint can still be seen on the sculpture's surface, adding a touch of vibrancy to the composition. Two servant figures are diligently engaged in meal preparation tasks - one seated figure is shown making bread while another stoops over a large bowl, stirring its contents. The intricate carving and attention to detail evident in this sandstone relief highlight the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans. It offers us a fascinating insight into their culinary practices and domestic routines during that era. Through this image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness these workers' dedication as they carry out their duties within an ancient kitchen setting. This relic serves as a testament to both human creativity and our timeless fascination with food preparation throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this remarkable piece from antiquity, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic value today.
