EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an ancient Egyptian sculpture, specifically the "Head of a Queen" from the Late Period. Created during the 26th Dynasty (664-525 BC), this basalt masterpiece stands at a height of 15.8 cm and is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The delicate features of this female bust are expertly carved, capturing both beauty and regality. Adorned with a nemes headdress, which was typically worn by pharaohs to symbolize their divine authority, this queen's head exudes power and grace. However, what makes this artwork even more intriguing is its broken uraeus - a serpent-like symbol often associated with royalty and protection. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved in creating such sculptures but also offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs. The attention to detail evident in every curve and line speaks volumes about the reverence Egyptians held for their rulers. As we gaze upon this stunning image captured by Fine Art Finder, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand an extraordinary piece of history that continues to captivate audiences today.
