EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable basalt statue of the seated visir Hori, hailing from the Middle Kingdom of ancient Egypt. Dating back to Dynasty XXII, this masterpiece stands tall at an impressive height of 96 cm and was discovered in the renowned Temple of Amun's Courtyard of the Cachette in Karnak. The visir Hori is depicted in full length, sitting majestically on his throne, exuding an aura of power and wisdom. His colorful robe drapes elegantly around him, adding a touch of vibrancy to this timeless piece crafted from durable basalt stone. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era when skilled artisans meticulously carved every intricate detail with great precision. The sculpture's male likeness captures Visir Hori's dignified countenance and reveals his semi-dressed state – shirtless but adorned with traditional Egyptian attire. Displayed indoors within a museum setting, this archaeological artifact serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that thrived along the banks of the Nile River. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insights into ancient Egyptian civilization and their reverence for esteemed figures such as Visir Hori. Through photography, UIG has immortalized this extraordinary artwork for all enthusiasts who yearn to explore Egypt's past and marvel at its awe-inspiring antiquities.
