This print showcases a remarkable Scaraboid from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom, specifically Dynasty 18 (about 1550-1295 BCE). Crafted by an unknown creator, this oval-shaped amulet is made of glazed steatite, commonly known as soapstone. The intricate carving depicts a fish, symbolizing aquatic life and its significance in Egyptian culture. The vibrant colors and meticulous details of this scaraboid are truly awe-inspiring. Its glaze adds a mesmerizing sheen to the stone, enhancing the overall visual appeal. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's renowned Art Centre, this artifact represents one of Africa's most treasured heritage arts. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural legacy. Dating back to the 12th century BC through the 14th century BC, this scaraboid offers us a glimpse into Middle Eastern civilization during ancient times. Its presence evokes curiosity about Mizraim (ancient Egypt) and its connection with neighboring countries in Africa and beyond. As we admire this image captured in letterbox format, let us marvel at how art transcends time and connects us with our ancestors' stories.
