EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Egyptian antiquity of a lioness deity named Sekhmet, depicted alongside the cartridge of King Sheshonq I. Crafted from black granite, this stunning statue dates back to 950-929 BC and is currently housed in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy. Sekhmet, known for her fierce and protective nature, is beautifully portrayed with intricate carvings that highlight her power and majesty. As a symbol of strength and ferocity, she holds great significance in ancient Egyptian mythology and religion. The inclusion of King Sheshonq I's cartridge adds an intriguing historical dimension to this artwork. It serves as a testament to the king's association with Sekhmet or perhaps his desire for divine protection during his reign. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every detail of this extraordinary piece through her lens. Her photograph not only preserves its artistic beauty but also invites us to delve into the rich history and symbolism behind it. For enthusiasts of archaeology, paganism, or ancient Egypt, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era where gods were worshipped fervently and art was used as a medium for spiritual expression. With its impeccable composition and profound subject matter, Luisa Ricciarini's work truly brings this magnificent artifact to life once again.
