Description of the artwork

The puzzle depicts a bas-relief from the Temple of Horus in Edfu, one of the best-preserved religious complexes of Ptolemaic Egypt, built between 237 and 57 BC. The work depicts the scene of the coronation of the Egyptian pharaoh Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II, a sacred moment that sanctioned the indissoluble bond between the sovereign and the tutelary deities of Egypt.

The subject: Ptolemy VIII and the two goddesses

At the center of the scene is Ptolemy VIII, standing frontally, depicted according to the stylized canons of Egyptian art: a rigid posture, a forward gaze, and idealized proportions that emphasize his divine nature. At his sides appear two female figures of enormous symbolic importance:

  • Wadjet , cobra goddess and protector of Lower Egypt, placed to the left of the pharaoh and recognizable by her red crown (deshret).
  • Nekhbet , vulture goddess and protector of Upper Egypt, placed to the right of the pharaoh and depicted with the white crown (hedjet).

The two deities, called “ the Two Ladies ” (Nebty), perform the coronation gesture, placing on the pharaoh’s head the symbols of royal power and the unification of the Two Lands.

Egyptian civilization

The scene is not a simple ritual representation, but a compendium of religious and political meanings:

  • The joint presence of Wadjet and Nekhbet reaffirms the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt, guaranteed by the pharaoh.
  • The red and white crowns, once combined, form the pschent, the double crown that identified the sovereign as lord of the Two Lands.
  • The hieroglyphics framing the relief celebrate the solemn moment, recalling ritual formulas of protection and legitimation.

The context: the Temple of Horus at Edfu

The bas-relief is located in the Temple of Horus in Edfu, the largest sanctuary dedicated to the falcon god, a deity associated with royalty and the protection of the pharaoh. Built in the Ptolemaic era, the temple not only celebrated the cult of Horus, but also served to consolidate the link between the Greco-Ptolemaic pharaohs and the ancient Egyptian religious tradition.

The choice to depict Ptolemy VIII in such a traditional rite had the aim of legitimizing his authority among the Egyptian population and the powerful temple clergy, showing the continuity between the “foreign” kings of Greek origin and the native pharaohs.

The authenticity of the testimony

The photograph of the relief is by O. Rauschenberg and faithfully captures the details of the original work: from the figures’ incisive features to the accompanying hieroglyphic inscriptions. Each element contributes to conveying the solemnity of the ritual and the symbolic richness of Egyptian art.
