EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a drinking cup in the form of a half-opened lotus flower. Discovered at the entrance to the tomb of Tutankhamun, this exquisite piece dates back to the New Kingdom period around 1370-52 BC. Crafted out of alabaster by skilled artisans during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this chalice stands at an impressive height of 18 cm. Its intricate design features shallow relief carvings and hieroglyphics that tell stories of pharaohs and their eternal quest for life beyond death. The cup's significance is further enhanced by two ankhs, symbolizing eternal life, held by the spirit of millions of years. The presence of Tutankhamun's royal cartouche adds another layer of regal grandeur to this already majestic vessel. Now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this treasure serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of ancient Egyptians. It offers us a glimpse into their beliefs surrounding life after death and their meticulous craftsmanship. As we admire this stunning masterpiece captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us marvel at how it has withstood thousands of years while retaining its beauty and allure. This print invites us on an enchanting journey back in time to explore one small fragment from an extraordinary civilization that continues to captivate our imagination today.
