EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Louvre's collection - a mummy of a dog, possibly representing Anubis. The image transports us to ancient Egypt, where religious beliefs and rituals surrounding death were deeply ingrained in society. Against a striking black background, the intricately preserved canine head takes center stage. Its rich colors and meticulous details are testaments to the skillful craftsmanship of Egyptian artists. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the significance placed on animals in Egyptian mythology. Anubis, often depicted with the head of a jackal or dog, was an important deity associated with embalming and guiding souls into the afterlife. As we gaze upon this mummified dog's visage, we can't help but marvel at its symbolic representation of Anubis' role as protector and guide during one's journey through death. The photograph captures not only an extraordinary piece of history but also evokes contemplation about our own mortality. It invites us to ponder concepts such as burial practices, religion, and spirituality that have transcended time and continue to shape human existence. Thanks to CM Dixon's expert studio shot technique, every intricate detail is brought to life in this image. Through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported back thousands of years ago to appreciate both the artistic beauty and cultural significance encapsulated within this ancient artifact from Egypt’s mausoleums.
