EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing artifact from ancient Egypt: the Herminette in the name of Hatshepsut. The image captures a blade adorned with an eye-oudjat, also known as the Eye Udjat, which adds a mystical touch to this instrument. Currently housed at Musee Du Louvre in Paris, this piece is a testament to the rich history and artistry of Egyptian civilization. The Herminette itself is an axe-like tool that was commonly used by laborers and bucherons in ancient Egypt. Its handle, made from antler, provides insight into the craftsmanship and resourcefulness of these early artisans. This object not only serves as evidence of their ingenuity but also sheds light on their daily lives and occupations. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the skillful workmanship that went into creating such instruments during antiquity. The intricate details carved onto the blade and its connection to Queen Hatshepsut make it all the more fascinating. Through archaeology and art preservation efforts like those undertaken by Musee Du Louvre, we are able to appreciate these remarkable artifacts that offer glimpses into our shared human heritage. This print allows us to marvel at both the beauty of Egyptian artistry and gain deeper insights into their culture thousands of years ago.
