EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the lower outer cover of the mummy of Nesyamun, believed to have been discovered at Deir El-Bahri. Created during the New Kingdom era around 1100 BC by Egyptian artists from the 20th Dynasty, this painted wood masterpiece is currently housed in Leeds Museums and Art Galleries, specifically Leeds City Museum in the UK. Nesyamun was an esteemed high priest who served under Ramesses XI's reign between 1113 and 1085 BC. As Keeper of the Sacred White Bulls at the Temple of Karnak, his role held great significance within ancient Egyptian society. The intricate decoration on this cover depicts a scene featuring Nesyamun himself before Imsety and Duamutef, two gods associated with embalming and protection respectively. Additionally, Thoth, depicted as an ibis-headed deity representing wisdom and writing, stands before Neith – a powerful goddess symbolizing war and hunting. The attention to detail exhibited in this artwork is truly remarkable. From the delicate depiction of bird-like feet to meticulously crafted hieroglyphs adorning every inch of space on this coffin cover; it serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion prevalent during that time period. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece for Fine Art Finder viewers worldwide to appreciate its historical significance without any commercial intentions or usage restrictions imposed upon it.
