EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the Middle Kingdom-Second Intermediate Period, Dynasties 12-17 (approximately 2055-1550 BCE). The image features a Scarab with an exquisite floral motif carved into it. This scarab beetle holds great significance in Egyptian culture as a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this stone carving. The scarab is made from glazed steatite, giving it a vibrant green color that adds to its allure. Its smooth texture and expert craftsmanship are evident in every curve and line. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art gallery, this piece represents the rich artistic heritage of Africa and particularly Egypt. It serves as a testament to the advanced skills possessed by ancient Egyptians in creating stunning works of art. The floral motif on this scarab speaks volumes about their connection with nature and their belief in its transformative power. As we gaze upon this artifact, we can't help but marvel at how something created thousands of years ago still captivates our imagination today. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era when symbolism held immense importance for civilizations like Mizraim (ancient Egypt). It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to transcend time and connect us with our ancestors' creativity and ingenuity.
