EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intimate luxury in ancient Egyptian royalty. Titled "Queen Kawit at her toilet" the image is a detail from the sarcophagus of Queen Kawit, discovered at Deir el-Bahri. In this scene, we witness Queen Kawit indulging in her daily beauty rituals. Seated gracefully on an ornate chair, she is attended by her loyal handmaidens who assist her with utmost care and elegance. One maiden delicately holds a mirror for the queen to admire herself while another pours fragrant oils from a flask into a bowl for her bath. The queen's regal presence is enhanced by her exquisite jewelry, including an elaborate necklace and anklet that adorn her graceful figure. Her flowing dress drapes elegantly around her as she enjoys this private moment of self-care. Hieroglyphics adorning the walls provide historical context to this fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian life. The attention to detail in this stone relief showcases the artistry and skill of the 11th Dynasty craftsmen who created it. This remarkable piece now resides in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, where it continues to captivate visitors with its depiction of timeless beauty and opulence within royal households thousands of years ago.
