EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Funerary Mask of an adolescent boy from ancient Egypt, dating back to the 2nd century. Crafted with painted plaster, this artifact beautifully captures the face and head of a young male individual. The mask's intricate details and vibrant colors highlight the skillful craftsmanship of Egyptian artists during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to a civilization that revered death as an important part of life. This funerary mask symbolizes not only the physical body but also represents concepts such as mortality and remembrance. The location where this mask was discovered remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its history. However, it is clear that it once adorned the body of a young adolescent who lived centuries ago in ancient Egypt - a testament to their belief in preserving one's identity even after death. Through this photograph, taken by CM Dixon or Mike Dixon from Cm Dixon (not associated with any commercial use), we are granted a glimpse into our shared human heritage. It serves as a reminder that despite the passage of time, our fascination with art and culture endures. Let us marvel at this extraordinary artifact and pay homage to those who came before us in shaping our world today.
