EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Relief Fragment Depicting Meret-Teti-iyet with Offerings, Saqqara. Dating back to the First Intermediate Period of Dynasty 10 in ancient Egypt (around 2025 BCE), this artwork is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Africa. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details carved into limestone by an unknown artist. The vibrant colors and hieroglyphic writings on the relief add depth and symbolism to the piece, transporting us back in time. In this fragment, we see a male figure believed to be Meret-Teti-iyet, an important monarch or pharaoh from Middle Eastern history. He stands proudly as a sovereign ruler, surrounded by offerings that symbolize his power and authority. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's African Art Centre, this sculpture serves as a reminder of Egypt's glorious past and its significant contributions to art throughout centuries. It invites viewers to explore not only ancient Egyptian culture but also their own connection with history. As we admire this relic from Saqqara near Cairo, Egypt, it sparks curiosity about the people who created it thousands of years ago. This photograph captures both their skillful craftsmanship and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations.
