EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lid of an unguent jar in the form of an ibex, discovered within the tomb of Tutankhamun. Created during the New Kingdom period (c. 1370-52 BC) by Egyptian artisans from the 18th Dynasty (c. 1567-1320 BC), this exquisite piece is now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. Crafted from painted alabaster, every intricate detail of this artifact reflects the skill and artistry of its creators. The eyes are delicately adorned with bronze and glass-paste, adding a touch of brilliance to its already mesmerizing presence. Notably, it bears a royal cartouche, symbolizing its connection to Tutankhamun himself. Unveiled to the world when it was unearthed in 1922 at the Valley of Kings, this lid has since become a treasure that offers us a glimpse into ancient Egypt's rich history and culture. Its horn-like features evoke both power and grace, while hieroglyphics adorning its surface tell stories untold. As we admire this remarkable work through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can't help but marvel at how such craftsmanship has stood the test of time. This print invites us on a journey back thousands of years ago when pharaohs ruled over Egypt's golden sands and their tombs held secrets waiting patiently to be discovered once more.
