EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Golden shrine, Tutankhamun's Treasure. Crafted during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty (c. 1567-1320 BC), this exquisite piece measures 50.5x26.5x32 cm and is currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt. The image captures a glimpse of ancient Egyptian royalty and their surroundings with remarkable precision. The edge of a papyrus swamp serves as the backdrop for this scene, while a tame lion stands faithfully by the side of a seated king on an ornate stool. A queen squats gracefully on a cushion at his feet, adding to the regal ambiance. Behind the king's head looms the vulture of Nekhbet, symbolizing protection and power. This extraordinary artifact was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter in the Valley of Kings, unveiling an unparalleled treasure trove that shed light on Tutankhamun's reign. The intricate details depicted here include hieroglyphics adorning various elements such as quivers and bows alongside fowling birds—an indication of hunting activities during that era. This print not only offers us an opportunity to marvel at ancient craftsmanship but also provides insight into Tutankhamun's life and royal pursuits during his reign from c. 1370-52 BC.
