Agricultural Book Of The Dead Labour Osiris Part Of Djed Pillar Elysian Mike Dixon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of the Egyptian book of the dead, offering a glimpse into the ancient beliefs and customs surrounding life after death. Belonging to Nespaquachouty, this particular section depicts scenes from the Elysian fields on the left side, where labor is depicted in vibrant detail. The agricultural setting portrays workers diligently tending to farmland, symbolizing their eternal commitment to work even in the afterlife. On the right side of this artifact, we find an intricately carved Djed pillar representing Osiris, a significant deity in Egyptian mythology associated with resurrection and fertility. This sacred object serves as a powerful reminder of Osiris' role as both judge and ruler of the underworld. The photograph beautifully captures not only the rich colors and intricate details but also evokes a sense of reverence for these ancient religious concepts. It transports us back in time to Egypt's distant past when agriculture played a vital role in sustaining its people's livelihoods. Preserved by CM Dixon and Mike Dixon under copyright protection until 1996-98 AccuSoft Inc. , this image allows us to appreciate and study an important historical artifact that sheds light on Egypt's complex belief system.
