EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Silver Sistrum from the Third Intermediate Period of ancient Egypt. Dating back to Dynasty XXII, which spanned from approximately 945-715 BC, this silver artifact stands at a height of 23.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The Sistrum takes the form of the janiform head of the goddess Hathor, adorned with a wig and broad collar. The intricate details include finely contoured eyebrows and cosmetic lines on her face, as well as cow ears on either side. Each side of the wig features an incised uraeus, with one wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and the other wearing the crown of Lower Egypt. Above this remarkable piece hangs an arched loop strung with three rods embellished with metal discs. The cylindrical handle boasts three bands at both its top and lower edge, adding further elegance to this musical instrument. This photograph beautifully captures not only the craftsmanship but also highlights its historical significance within ancient Egyptian civilization. With no people present in this image, it allows viewers to fully appreciate every detail without any distractions. Brought to you by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, this print offers art enthusiasts and history lovers alike an opportunity to admire this exquisite silverwork that represents Africa's rich cultural heritage.
