EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Pectoral of the vizier, Paser, with a scarab flanked by the goddesses Isis and Nephthys. Created during Egypt's 19th Dynasty (c. 1292-1187 BC), this stunning piece measures 10x9 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Crafted from gold, lapis lazuli, and glass paste, this pectoral exemplifies the incredible artistry of ancient Egyptian jewelry. The central focus is a scarab beetle symbolizing rebirth and protection. It is beautifully adorned on either side by depictions of two powerful goddesses - Isis and Nephthys. The intricate details of this masterpiece are awe-inspiring; every element meticulously crafted to perfection. From the delicate inlaid work to the vibrant colors that still shine through after centuries, it truly reflects the skillful craftsmanship of its time. Believed to have been worn by Vizier Paser during his service under Ramesses II's reign, this pectoral holds immense historical significance. It not only represents religious beliefs but also serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical value encapsulated within this extraordinary artifact from ancient Egypt.
