EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and ancient "Funerary stele of a high priest: Siris welcomes the deceased presented to Anubis". Dating back to the 3rd-2nd century BC, this painted limestone masterpiece is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy. The stele depicts an important ritual in Egyptian mythology - the welcoming of a deceased individual into the afterlife. At its center stands Siris, a high priest, extending his arms in greeting towards Anubis, the god associated with mummification and guiding souls through the underworld. Behind them are four significant deities: Isis, Nephthys (or Neftis), Horus, and Hathor. These divine figures represent various aspects of life after death and offer their protection to ensure a safe journey for the departed soul. The attention to detail on this funerary stele is remarkable. Every hieroglyphic inscription and carefully carved figure tells a story about Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and resurrection. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography captures not only these intricate details but also brings out the vibrant colors that have survived over centuries. This print serves as both an artistic marvel and an educational tool for those interested in ancient Egypt's rich culture and mythology. It allows viewers to delve into a world where gods walked among mortals, guiding them through their final journey towards eternal life.
