EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the Middle Kingdom period around 1900 BC. The wood model depicts a woman diligently grinding corn, offering us a glimpse into the daily life and work of Egyptian women during that time. Preserved in the prestigious British Museum, this side view of the wooden figure reveals intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. The image captures the essence of an era long gone, where people relied on manual labor to sustain their livelihoods. It symbolizes not only hard work but also represents the cultural significance of agriculture in ancient Egypt. This beautifully colored profile view highlights the dedication and skill with which this lady is depicted as she kneels down to grind corn. As we admire this historic object, we are reminded of its profound connection to death rituals and burial practices prevalent in ancient Egyptian society. Discovered within a tomb, it serves as an invaluable archaeological find that sheds light on their beliefs surrounding afterlife preparations. With renowned photographer CM Dixon behind this lens, his expertise brings out every detail for our appreciation. This photograph by Mike Dixon transports us back thousands of years ago when models like these were created as artifacts embodying concepts central to ancient Egyptian civilization
