EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art - a Funerary bedhead in the form of a lion, discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Created during the New Kingdom period around 1370-1352 BC, this stuccoed and gilded wood masterpiece is attributed to the skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. Measuring an impressive length of 181 cm, this bedhead features intricate details that reflect the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of its time. The lion's majestic presence is enhanced by its crystal eyes, possibly representing a cheetah. Its nose crafted from blue glass paste adds an intriguing touch to this already mesmerizing artwork. Currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this artifact offers us a glimpse into ancient burial practices and beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. It serves as a testament to how art played an integral role in honoring and commemorating pharaohs like Tutankhamun. The bedhead's gilt finish exudes opulence while showcasing the mastery with which it was created. This exceptional piece not only served as furniture but also symbolized power and protection for its royal occupant. Through this photograph captured by eBoltin Picture Library from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand one of history's most extraordinary treasures – reminding us once again why ancient Egypt continues to captivate our imagination today.
