EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a front view of one of the canopic coffins discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Dating back to the New Kingdom period, specifically around 1370-1352 BC, this exquisite coffin is made from beaten gold and adorned with intricate colored glass and cornelian inlays. Measuring at 29.5x12.5x11.5 cm, it currently resides in the Egyptian National Museum located in Cairo. These canopic coffins were an integral part of ancient Egyptian burial practices as they contained the internal organs of the deceased pharaohs. Each organ was carefully preserved within its own individual coffinette, symbolizing their importance for the afterlife journey. The craftsmanship displayed on this particular coffin is truly remarkable; every detail has been meticulously crafted by skilled artisans from Egypt's 18th Dynasty. From hieroglyphics depicting sacred symbols such as crooks, scepters, uraeus cobras, and vultures to a mummiform effigy wearing a royal headdress known as nemes - everything about this piece exudes regality. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and mystique surrounding ancient Egyptian culture. The combination of gold and vibrant colors evokes a sense of awe-inspiring beauty that still captivates us today.
