EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite statuette from Egypt, specifically Asyut, dating back to the 2nd Millennium B. C. The statuette represents a skilled cook engrossed in roasting a duck, crafted with colored plastered wood. It is currently housed in the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin, Italy and belongs to the Middle Kingdom era of Egyptian art. The intricate details of this wooden figurine are truly remarkable. The cook is depicted crouching down, fully focused on his culinary task at hand. With expert craftsmanship evident in every curve and contour, this sculpture beautifully captures the essence of food preparation during ancient times. The vertical composition of the image draws attention to both the male likeness and his delectable creation. Against a vibrant colored background, this studio shot highlights not only the artistic value but also provides insight into everyday life during that period. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we can't help but marvel at its significance as an antiquity. This photograph serves as a window into ancient Egyptian culture and their mastery of art and craft
