EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent mirror case in the form of an ankh, discovered within the tomb of Tutankhamun. Dating back to approximately 1370-52 BC during the New Kingdom period, this gilt wood masterpiece is adorned with intricate glass paste inlays. Measuring 27 cm in length, it currently resides at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The mirror case features a royal cartouche flanked by delicate lotus flowers, symbolizing rebirth and purity. The ankh itself represents the sign of life and holds great significance in ancient Egyptian culture. It was believed to grant eternal life and protection to its bearer. As we delve into this remarkable artifact's history, we uncover its connection to one of Egypt's most renowned pharaohs - Tutankhamun. This treasure was found nestled within a large coffer inside his tomb, further emphasizing its importance and value. The inclusion of a scarab beetle motif adds another layer of symbolism as these creatures were associated with resurrection and transformation. Together with the key-like shape of the mirror case, they evoke notions of unlocking hidden knowledge or secrets from beyond. Through this visually stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years to witness not only exquisite craftsmanship but also gain insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding life after death.
