EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Gold dagger and sheath, discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Dating back to the New Kingdom era (c. 1370-1352 BC), this exquisite piece was crafted by the skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty (c. 1567-1320 BC). The dagger is adorned with intricate gold inlays, featuring semi-precious stones that add a touch of opulence to its design. The sheath itself is a work of art, showcasing an array of symbolic motifs including a jackal head, leopard, knife, inscription, lion, feather pattern, weapon, ibex and wild animals attacking. Each element tells a story from ancient Egyptian mythology and culture - from the power symbolized by lions and leopards to the protective qualities associated with jackals. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable; every detail has been meticulously executed. Now housed at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt; this photograph captures not only the beauty but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient civilizations. It allows us to appreciate their mastery in creating objects that were both functional weapons and works of art. As we gaze upon this image captured by eBoltin Picture Library for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; we are transported back thousands of years into an era filled with mystery and wonder.
