EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom period of Dynasty 18. The image features a Scarab beetle intricately carved in faience and gold, symbolizing rebirth and royalty in Egyptian culture. Standing alongside the scarab is an enigmatic king, believed to be either Thutmose III or Amenhotep III, two prominent rulers of that era. The close-up shot highlights the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating this ceramic masterpiece. The vibrant colors and glazed finish add to its allure, making it a true testament to the artistic brilliance of ancient Egyptians. Hieroglyphics are delicately etched onto the surface of the scarab, further emphasizing its significance as a royal emblem. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's African Arts Center, this object serves as a tangible link between modern viewers and Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Its presence evokes curiosity about life during that time period - how these objects were used and what they represented within society. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to witness not only an exquisite piece of art but also gain insight into the beliefs and values held by our ancestors in Africa's most iconic civilization.
