EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Fragment of a royal wig sculpted in wood, dating back to the 18th-19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt (c. 1540-1190 BC). Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK, this remarkable artifact stands at a height of 24 cm. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this wooden headdress or wig. Made from carved wood and adorned with faience pieces, rawhide elements, and carnelian accents, it exudes an air of regality and opulence. The remains of cowhide thonging further enhance its authenticity. Believed to be part of a coffin ensemble or burial attire for royalty, this fragment offers us a glimpse into the elaborate decorative practices during that era. Its ornate design speaks volumes about the importance placed on appearance and symbolism within Egyptian culture. Preserved through centuries, this relic serves as a testament to the skill and artistry possessed by ancient Egyptian craftsmen. It invites us to marvel at their ability to transform simple materials into exquisite works of art. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur associated with ancient Egypt's royal traditions.
