EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Egyptian antiquity of the Mykerinos shale triad, also known as Menkaoure. The central figure in this artwork is none other than Pharaoh Menkaoure himself, depicted with great regality and surrounded by divine beings. To his left stands Hathor, the goddess associated with love, beauty, and motherhood. On his right is the personification of Diospolis Parva, representing a nome or administrative division of Upper Egypt. The sculpture itself is made from schist and measures an impressive 47 x 93 x 43 cm. It originates from the Valley Temple of the Pyramid of Menkaure at Giza and dates back to approximately 2529 BC during the Old Kingdom period. King Menkaure wears the white crown of Upper Egypt in this representation, symbolizing his authority over that region. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every intricate feature has been carefully crafted to honor both the pharaoh's power and divinity. Currently housed in Cairo's Egyptian National Museum, this artifact offers a glimpse into ancient Egyptian civilization and their beliefs surrounding royalty and deities. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this masterpiece through her lens, allowing viewers to marvel at its grandeur even from afar.
