EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze ring, dating back to the Late Period-Ptolemaic Period of ancient Egypt (711-30 BCE), showcases an intricately designed Uraeus figure encircled by a ring. The Uraeus, symbolizing the goddess Wadjet and protector of the pharaoh, is depicted as a cobra with its hood raised, crowned with the solar disc and the uraeus symbol itself. The cobra's body is adorned with intricate ringlets, adding to the overall elegance of the design. The ring, likely a signet ring, is made of bronze and exhibits a high level of craftsmanship. The close-up perspective allows us to appreciate the fine details of the Uraeus figure, from the textured scales to the delicate engravings on the solar disc and the uraeus symbol. The Bronze Ringed Element with Crowned Uraeus Figure is an excellent representation of the fusion of Egyptian and Hellenistic influences during the Ptolemaic Period. This period marked the rule of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which saw the blending of Egyptian and Greek artistic styles. The ring is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt and its enduring influence on global culture. The ring's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of ancient Egyptian art or jewelry and adornments. Its studio shot showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of this unique piece, which continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike.
