EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Ancient Egyptian religious masks, beautifully captured in chromolitho. Created by the European School in the 19th century, these masks are now part of a private collection. The image is taken from a Liebig card, which was published during the late 19th or early 20th century as part of a series on masks. The masks depicted here were an integral part of ancient Egyptian rituals and worship practices. They were used to adorn shrines and temples, symbolizing the deep connection between religion and costume in this ancient civilization. Worshippers would don these intricate masks during ceremonies to pay homage to their gods. One striking mask features the majestic falcon head of Horus, representing power and protection. Another mask portrays a bird-like creature that could be interpreted as a sea bird or fowl, highlighting the significance of animals in Egyptian mythology. This print not only captures the beauty and craftsmanship behind these traditional religious artifacts but also provides us with insight into ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs. It serves as an educational tool for those interested in exploring Egypt's rich history and its profound influence on art, religion, and society.
