EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - the Dummy of the young Tutankhamun. Crafted during the 18th Dynasty, this painted and stuccoed wooden figure stands tall at a height of 76.2 cm, now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The dummy portrays young Tutankhamun wearing a unique headdress that combines elements from two iconic symbols of power and royalty. It is an intriguing compromise between the crown worn by kings of Lower Egypt and the headdress associated with Nefertiti, one of Egypt's most renowned queens. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are transported back to a time when pharaohs ruled over an empire shrouded in mystery and grandeur. The intricate details on this sculpture captivate our imagination - from the delicate snake effigy adorning his forehead to the mesmerizing uraeus symbolizing divine protection. The presence of snakes further adds to its allure, symbolizing both wisdom and danger in ancient Egyptian culture. This depiction highlights not only Tutankhamun's royal lineage but also his connection to powerful deities worshipped during that era. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images invites us into a world where treasures like these were revered as sacred artifacts embodying centuries-old traditions and beliefs. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with history and our desire to unravel its secrets through art and archaeology.
