EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Pectoral of Ramesses II, a remarkable artifact from the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Crafted with gold and adorned with semi-precious stones, this breastplate is an epitome of opulence and craftsmanship. The pectoral features intricate details that symbolize the pharaoh's sovereignty over Upper and Lower Egypt. A majestic vulture, representing power and authority, is depicted on one side while a cobra, symbolizing protection and royalty, graces the other. The presence of these iconic Egyptian symbols highlights Ramesses II's status as a revered ruler. Surrounded by hieroglyphics and cartouches, this piece tells a story of grandeur and divine connection. The inclusion of two ladies flanking the central design adds an element of grace to its overall composition. Wings extend outwards from either side, evoking a sense of majesty and divinity. Discovered in the Serapeum of Memphis, this extraordinary treasure offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistic mastery of ancient Egypt. Its preservation at Louvre Museum in Paris allows visitors to marvel at its beauty firsthand. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the cultural significance embedded within this stunning piece of jewelry from the Ramesside period.
