EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Funerary stele of Tembu" a remarkable piece of art from ancient Egypt. Created during the Second Intermediate Period, which spanned from approximately 1750 to 1650 BC, this painted limestone stele measures 68x45 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The stele features intricate hieroglyphics and symbols that provide insight into Egyptian funerary practices. The offering formula and table of offerings depicted on the stele suggest that it was intended to ensure a prosperous afterlife for Tembu, the deceased individual portrayed alongside his wife. The presence of the Eye of Horus symbolizes protection and healing while also emphasizing divine power. The stela's artistic style reflects elements commonly found during Egypt's 17th dynasty. Its vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship demonstrate the skillful techniques employed by ancient Egyptian artisans. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between Tembu and his beloved wife as they embark on their eternal journey together. The wedjet (also known as wedjat or udjat) symbol adorning their image represents wholeness and protection against evil forces. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous capture, we can now appreciate every intricate detail of this extraordinary artifact without any copyright restrictions. This print serves as a testament to both human creativity throughout history and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations like Egypt's rich heritage.
