EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Cowroid: The Kings Wife, Tiye, from Egypt's New Kingdom in Dynasty 18. Created during the reign of Amenhotep III, this artifact dates back to approximately 1390-1352 BCE. Crafted with great skill and attention to detail, it is a testament to the ancient Egyptian artistry that continues to captivate audiences today. The image captures a close-up view of this remarkable piece of heritage art. Made from faience or steatite, it features intricate carvings and a striking blue glaze that adds vibrancy and depth. The cowroid serves as both an object of beauty and significance; its purpose was likely ceremonial or symbolic. Tiye, Queen Tiy herself, is depicted on this royal seal. As one of the most influential queens in ancient Egypt's history, she held immense power and played a crucial role in shaping her husband's reign. This artwork pays homage to her status as a sovereign ruler alongside Amenhotep III. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's African Arts gallery, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Africa and its contributions to world art history. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's Middle Eastern roots while showcasing their unique artistic style. Through this image captured by an unknown artist or photographer, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian civilization—a true treasure for all who admire historical artifacts.
