This print showcases the remarkable Relief of the Pharaoh between two goddesses, found in the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt. Created during the Ptolemaic Period around 251 BC to 246 BC, this stone carving depicts a powerful scene of religious significance. Standing proudly between two divine figures, the Pharaoh dons the prestigious Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing his authority over both regions. On the left side stands a goddess adorned with the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, while on the right stands another goddess wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt. The contrasting colors represent their respective territories and highlight their importance within Egyptian mythology.
