EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Egyptian faience statuette of the goddess Tauret, known for her distinctive hippopotamus-headed appearance. The statuette, captured against a striking black background, emanates a sense of mystery and reverence. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this artefact is a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. The vibrant colors of the faience glaze bring life to the statue, highlighting its animal likeness and symbolizing the divine power associated with Tauret. Standing tall in all her glory, she represents both ferocity and protection. The studio shot perfectly captures every curve and contour of this remarkable object. Its presence evokes a sense of awe as we contemplate its religious significance within Egyptian culture. Tauret was revered as a deity who embodied fertility, childbirth, and maternal care – qualities that were highly valued in ancient society. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to an era when gods and goddesses held immense influence over daily life in Egypt. This pottery artifact serves as a tangible link between past civilizations and our present understanding of their beliefs. Photographer CM Dixon has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual essence contained within this statuette. Through his lens, we can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary piece of artistry from one corner of our vast world to another.
