EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art: the Ring: Aegis of Sekhmet/Bastet. Dating back to the New Kingdom-Third Intermediate Period, specifically Dynasty 15-25 (around 1550-664 BCE), this ring is an exquisite representation of the rich heritage and religious beliefs of ancient Egypt. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors present in this ceramic artifact. Made from tin-glazed faience, the ring features a stunning turquoise hue that adds to its allure. The goddess depicted on it is none other than Sekhmet, known as both the lioness-headed goddess of war and Bastet, her feline counterpart. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported to Africa's mesmerizing continent where Middle Eastern influences merged with African traditions. This object serves as a testament to Egypt's cultural significance during that time period. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Art Centre, this photograph captures not only an extraordinary work of art but also represents our fascination with ancient civilizations and their religious practices. While its creator remains unknown, their craftsmanship has left an indelible mark on our understanding of Egyptian culture. Through images like these, Heritage Images preserves and shares valuable glimpses into our past for future generations to admire and learn from.
