EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable figure of the goddess Isis, dating back to the Napatan Period between 900 and 300 BC. Crafted from hollow-cast bronze, this Nubian masterpiece stands at a height of 29.5 cm and is displayed on a wooden base in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The intricate details of this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. The goddess Isis, known as one of ancient Egypt's most revered deities, is depicted with grace and elegance. Her feminine form exudes power and divinity as she stands tall with her arms held close to her body. However, what makes this particular representation unique is its distortion caused by burning. This intentional alteration adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the artwork, inviting viewers to contemplate its deeper meaning. As we gaze upon this ancient treasure, we are transported back in time to Kawa in Nubia where it was discovered. Its presence in our modern world serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Egyptian artistry and mythology. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access to appreciate not only the technical skill involved in creating such a piece but also its cultural significance within ancient Egyptian society. This print allows us to marvel at history frozen in time while reminding us that even centuries later, art continues to transcend boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide.
