21st Dynasty Alabaster Ancient Egyptian Culture Black Background Falcon Hieroglyphs New Kingdom Psusennes I Tanis Third Intermediate Period Animal Representation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Treasure of Tanis" a painted alabaster canopic jar from the Egyptian civilization during the Third Intermediate Period, specifically Dynasty XXI-XXII. The focal point of this image is the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef, one of the four sons of Horus responsible for preserving and protecting specific organs during mummification rituals. Against a striking black background, this studio shot captures every intricate detail engraved on the alabaster surface. The vertical composition emphasizes its grandeur and allows viewers to appreciate its solitary beauty. As an artifact from the New Kingdom's 21st dynasty, it offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and their mastery in art and craft. The hieroglyphs adorning this canopic jar serve as both decoration and communication, telling stories that have withstood thousands of years. Its animal representation further highlights how deeply intertwined nature was with their beliefs and practices. Originally discovered in Tanis, Egypt's archaeological treasure trove, this particular piece belonged to Psusennes I – a pharaoh whose reign marked an era of prosperity. This photograph provides us with an opportunity to marvel at history frozen in time while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with our past
