EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stone relief of "Queen Kawit at her toilet" from the sarcophagus of Queen Kawit, discovered at Deir el-Bahri. Dating back to the Middle Kingdom era around 2061-2010 BC, this artwork is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. In this scene, we witness Queen Kawit engaging in her daily beauty rituals with grace and elegance. She sits on a beautifully adorned chair while her loyal hand maiden attends to her needs. The queen delicately holds a cup, possibly containing a refreshing beverage, as she enjoys a moment of relaxation. Her hair is meticulously styled and adorned with intricate jewelry fit for royalty. A mirror reflects her regal visage while an attendant pours water from a bowl onto her hands, symbolizing purification and rejuvenation. The hieroglyphics adorning the wall behind depict symbols that may hold deeper meanings related to beauty or perhaps even religious beliefs associated with personal grooming practices. This remarkable sculpture not only provides us with insight into ancient Egyptian fashion and aesthetics but also serves as a reminder of their advanced civilization's appreciation for beauty and self-care. It stands as an invaluable artifact preserved in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, offering us glimpses into the life of Queen Kawit during one of history's most fascinating periods.
