EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom period of Dynasty 18 (around 1550-1295 BCE). The image captures a scarab beetle intricately carved with hieroglyphs, including the wedjat-eye, nefer-signs, and nbw-sign. These symbols hold great significance in Egyptian culture and are associated with concepts such as protection, beauty, and power. The scarab itself is beautifully crafted out of ceramic or faience material and features a glazed beige color that adds to its allure. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the meticulous detailing on the beetle's body and face. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the artistry displayed in this ancient piece. Located at an art gallery or institute in Chicago, this artwork represents one of Africa's rich cultural heritages. It serves as a testament to the advanced craftsmanship and artistic skills possessed by ancient Egyptians. The hieroglyphics inscribed on the scarab not only convey written communication but also symbolize rebirth and protection through references like the eye of Horus. Although we do not know who created this masterpiece due to its unknown origin, it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic excellence. This print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary civilization that thrived thousands of years ago in Middle Eastern Africa – Egypt or Mizraim as it was known then.
