EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of ancient Egyptian art, an openwork plaque or buckle depicting the triumphant return of a king with prisoners. The artwork originates from the tomb of Tutankhamun, a pharaoh who reigned during the New Kingdom period around 1370-52 BC. Crafted in gold and measuring 6 cm in height, this intricate masterpiece is now housed in the Egyptian National Museum located in Cairo. Discovered within the renowned Valley of the Kings, this remarkable artifact offers us a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and artistic prowess. The scene depicted on the plaque portrays a victorious king riding atop his majestic chariot, surrounded by symbols of power and wealth. The intricate details showcase not only the skillful craftsmanship but also provide insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs and customs. Notably, we can observe hieroglyphic cartouches adorning this magnificent artwork.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that this artwork features imagery associated with Serket, a serpent goddess representing protection against venomous creatures prevalent in Northern Egypt. Overall, this print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and historical significance encapsulated within ancient Egyptian art while offering glimpses into their fascinating civilization.
