close-up of a bas-relief carving in an ancient Egyptian style
Momentclose-up of a bas-relief carving in an ancient Egyptian style. On the left, a profile of a human head, possibly male, is depicted wearing a headdress. Below the head is a bow and arrow symbol, with the bowstring forming a star-like shape. To the right of the human head and bow, there is a collection of hieroglyphic symbols. These include a large oval shape with horizontal lines inside, suggestive of a basket or tray, and below it, two smaller symbols, one resembling a stylized plant or reed and the other a coiled rope or knot. The carving is illuminated from the bottom, creating shadows that highlight the texture of the stone and the depth of the relief. The background is dark, suggesting the carving is set within a display or architectural feature. The carving is located in Cologny, Switzerland.
