EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating Lid Panel of Piays Mummy, dating back to c. 1279-1213 BC, is a remarkable piece of Egyptian artistry that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the New Kingdom era. This painted wood and stucco creation measures an impressive 179x43 cm and can be found at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. Believed to belong to the Ramesside period during the 19th dynasty, this lid panel offers a glimpse into ancient Egyptian funerary practices. The pleated costume worn by Piays suggests his high status as a chief tradesman or merchant in his community. With crossed arms and a serene expression on his youthful face, he appears ready for eternal rest within his sarcophagus. Every detail on this lid panel speaks volumes about ancient Egypt's rich culture and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. The portrait-like depiction captures Piays' likeness with meticulous precision, ensuring that he would be recognized in eternity. As we admire this extraordinary artifact from thousands of years ago, it serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how art has always been an essential medium for expressing human emotions and aspirations across time. Jacqueline Hiegel's print beautifully preserves this significant piece for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot witness it firsthand in Cairo.
