EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Amulet of the God Horus (?) with Double Crown, originating from Egypt's Late Period. Crafted during Dynasty 26-31 (664-332 BCE), this artifact is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egyptian civilization. The amulet, made from glazed faience ceramic, depicts the powerful deity Horus in his falcon-headed form. Adorned with a magnificent double crown symbolizing kingship and authority, Horus exudes an aura of divine power and protection. The intricate carving and vibrant colors bring this piece to life, allowing us to marvel at the skill and artistry of its creator. As we delve into the symbolism behind this amulet, we are reminded of its significance as a lucky charm and protective talisman. In ancient Egyptian religion, Horus was revered as a god who safeguarded both individuals and the entire nation. This amulet would have been cherished by its owner for its ability to ward off evil spirits and offer divine guidance. Displayed within the renowned Art Institute Chicago's African Arts collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance of this ancient artifact. It serves as a window into Egypt's rich cultural past while reminding us that even centuries later, these objects continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless allure.
