EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom Dynasty 18 during the reign of Amenhotep III. The intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of this hedgehog figurine are truly awe-inspiring. Carved out of steatite and originally glazed, this miniature masterpiece measures just 1.7 x 1.8 cm (11/16 x 11/16 in. ), yet it carries immense cultural value. The attention to detail is evident in every delicate feature, capturing the essence of a hedgehog with astonishing accuracy. Dating back to approximately 1391-1353 BC, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into the artistic prowess and religious symbolism prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to the reverence Egyptians held for animals and their belief in their connection to divine forces. The reign of Amenhotep III was marked by prosperity and opulence, which is reflected in this exquisite piece. Its small size only adds to its charm, making it all the more intriguing for historians and art enthusiasts alike. Preserved through time, this hedgehog figurine stands as an enduring reminder of Egypt's rich heritage and its people's deep-rooted spirituality. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but marvel at the skillful hands that crafted such an extraordinary work of art over three thousand years ago.
