EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning scarab print showcases the intricate artistry of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship during the Second Intermediate Period, specifically from the 15th Dynasty (approximately 1664-1555 BCE). The scarab, a symbol of rebirth and transformation, is depicted with the king's throne name, "Maa-ib-re" (Sheshi), inscribed in hieroglyphics. The scarab's body is made of steatite, a type of metamorphic rock, and is inlaid with a beautiful blue-green glaze and lapis lazuli. The close-up image reveals the intricate details of the hieroglyphs, each one carefully carved and filled with pigment. The scarab's wings are spread wide, giving the impression of flight and the sense of the beetle's powerful energy. The name "Sheshi" or "Sheshy" was a common throne name during the Second Intermediate Period, and it is believed to be derived from the Egyptian word for "enduring" or "permanent." This scarab is an important example of the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt and the sophisticated techniques used during this period. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to their impressive collection of Egyptian art. The use of lapis lazuli, a valuable and prized stone, demonstrates the wealth and power of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The scarab's green color, achieved through the blue-green glaze, adds to its allure and mystique. Overall, this scarab is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of ancient Egypt and its enduring influence on the world.
