EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Coptic art: a bronze statuette representing a rattlesnake dancer. Created between the 5th and 10th centuries, this artifact hails from Egypt and is currently housed in the prestigious Musee du Louvre in Paris, France. The statuette stands at an impressive height of 0.22 meters and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the delicate facial features to the meticulously carved scales on the serpent's body. The rattlesnake dancer depicted here embodies both grace and power as she moves to the rhythm of her own percussive music.

The fusion of music, dance, and spirituality represented by this statue serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Thanks to Photo Josse's skillful photography, we can now appreciate this extraordinary piece without boundaries or limitations.
