EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Figure of the king" from the illustrious Tomb of Tutankhamun, dating back to 1370-1352 BC during the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt. Crafted by skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this golden masterpiece stands tall at a height of 131.5 cm and is now housed in the prestigious Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The figure portrays a regal pharaoh adorned with a striking blue crown embellished with an uraeus, symbolizing divine power and protection. Clad in a pleated kilt known as a khepresh, he exudes an aura of authority and majesty that befits his royal status. This remarkable sculpture is believed to have been carried by priests and officials during ceremonial processions, further emphasizing its significance. The attention to detail exhibited in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring; every intricate feature has been meticulously crafted to perfection.

It serves as both a testament to their advanced artistic skills and as a window into their rich cultural heritage.
