EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing artifact from ancient Egypt - an intricately designed wooden toilet case. Dating back to the 13th century BC, this remarkable piece belonged to Tutu, the wife of scribe Ani. The box is divided into four compartments and contains a variety of items such as salves, cosmetics, a brush for painting the eyes, a palette, an elbow cushion, and even a pumice stone. Displayed on the floor beside the box are a pair of delicate pink sandals that add a touch of femininity to the scene. The attention to detail in this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship of these ancient Egyptians but also their dedication to personal grooming and beauty rituals. The image was taken from "The Art of Ancient Egypt" published by Phaidon Press in Vienna in 1936. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this fascinating country. Through literature like this book, we can explore different aspects of Egyptian artistry and gain insights into their daily lives. This monochrome print captures both the mystique and elegance associated with ancient Egypt while showcasing Tutu's belongings with great reverence. As we admire her collection within this wooden casket, it serves as a reminder that even thousands of years ago people sought ways to enhance their appearance through makeup and skincare products – practices that continue today.
