EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning necklace with a lunar pectoral, discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun during the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt. Crafted from precious materials such as electrum, feldspar, lapis lazuli, and gold beads, this intricate piece is a testament to the exquisite artistry of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. The necklace features a detailed counterpoise made of gold cloisonné adorned with delicate lotus flowers and buds, poppies, and rosettes. Hanging from it are bead tassels that add movement and elegance to the overall design. The use of carnelian gemstones further enhances its beauty. Believed to have been worn by King Tutankhamun himself around 3,000 years ago, this extraordinary jewelry piece represents both power and style. It symbolizes the pharaoh's connection to celestial bodies like the moon while showcasing his wealth and status. Preserved in pristine condition at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, this remarkable artifact continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. Its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship serve as a reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images' talented photographers at Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate every intricate detail of this masterpiece without being physically present at the museum itself.
