EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pectoral jewel discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun, offering a glimpse into the ancient world of Egypt. The intricate design features Ptah, the revered creator of the universe and patron of craftsmen, standing proudly at the center. Adorned in regalia befitting a pharaoh, young Tutankhamun stands alongside Ptah as his divine consort Sekhmet guards him on either side. The craftsmanship displayed in this jewel is awe-inspiring; every detail meticulously carved to perfection. The image captures not only the artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the religious beliefs held by ancient Egyptians. Ptah's presence symbolizes their belief in an all-powerful deity responsible for bringing forth life and creation itself. Flanking Tutankhamun are two lion-headed goddesses - Sekhmet, representing war and protection, embodying both ferocity and strength. This juxtaposition highlights the duality often found within Egyptian mythology: beauty intertwined with power. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact from centuries past, we are transported back to an era where religion played an integral role in shaping society's values and customs. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur fit for royalty, reverence for deities remained paramount. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at the skillful artistry that has stood the test of time—a true treasure from Egypt's rich heritage preserved for generations to come.
