EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Papyrus of Ker Asher, originating from Theses in the 1st century BC. The image captures a significant religious moment as Anubis, the ancient Egyptian deity associated with death and mummification, leads Ker Asher (the deceased) on their spiritual journey. Following closely behind is Hathor, the goddess of love and beauty. Displayed at the prestigious British Museum, this artifact beautifully represents Egypt's rich cultural heritage. The vibrant colors preserved on this papyrus bring to life an era long gone but not forgotten. This intricate piece offers a glimpse into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and solemnity as Anubis guides Ker Asher towards his final resting place. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's fascination with mortality and our eternal quest for understanding life's mysteries. Mike Dixon skillfully captured this historic object in stunning detail, allowing viewers to appreciate its significance even more profoundly. With its meticulous preservation over centuries, the Papyrus of Ker Asher continues to inspire awe and curiosity among visitors at the British Museum. This photograph by CM Dixon transports us back in time to explore an essential aspect of Egyptian religion while honoring their funerary traditions.
