EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reconstruction of Queen Hetepheres' chair, discovered in her tomb at Giza. Dating back to approximately 2600 BC, this remarkable piece is a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship skills of the Egyptian 4th Dynasty. Made from wood overlaid with gold, every detail has been meticulously recreated. The legs of the chair are particularly noteworthy as they resemble those of a lion, adding an air of regality and power to its design. As one gazes upon this ancient artifact, it is impossible not to be transported back in time and imagine Queen Hetepheres herself sitting upon it. What makes this chair even more extraordinary is that it is considered the oldest existing reconstructed chair made from parts of the original. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it offers us a rare glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization. Now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this stunning piece serves as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural heritage. It symbolizes both beauty and functionality while embodying the legacy left behind by Queen Hetepheres - wife of Snofru, mother of Cheops (Snefru), Khufu - figures who played pivotal roles during their time in ancient Egypt.
