EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a Model of a Boat dating back to approximately 2181-1880 BC. Crafted with meticulous detail, this wooden sculpture is adorned with gesso, paint, and twine, bringing the vessel to life even after thousands of years. Measuring at an impressive 77.5x52.1x104.1 cm, this model boat is currently housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. It was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Gordan Hanes who recognized its historical significance. The boat itself represents more than just a mode of transportation; it serves as a testament to the advanced craftsmanship and seafaring abilities of the ancient Egyptians. The intricate sail and meticulously carved figures on board hint at the rich culture and occupation that revolved around maritime activities during that era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, our imagination takes us back in time to witness bustling ports along the Nile River or perhaps even voyages across vast seas for trade or exploration purposes. The Model of a Boat stands as an enduring symbol of human ingenuity and curiosity throughout history - reminding us that travel has always been an integral part of our existence since time immemorial.
