EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dish from Egypt, dating back to the Third Intermediate Period and possibly belonging to Dynasty 21-25. Created between the 11th and 7th centuries BCE, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Africa. The Dish, carved meticulously out of beige calcite stone, exhibits intricate detailing that reflects the skilled craftsmanship of its unknown creator. Its close-up view reveals an array of colors that have stood the test of time, adding depth and vibrancy to this remarkable piece. Originally used as a cosmetics container in ancient Egyptian culture, this object provides us with a glimpse into their beauty rituals and practices during that era. The Middle Eastern influence on Egyptian art can be observed through its design elements. Now housed within the prestigious Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to African arts, this Heritage Art print allows viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's profound cultural legacy and contributes to our understanding of their civilization during the Third Intermediate Period. While we may never know who created this magnificent dish or how it was originally utilized in daily life, it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and enigmatic origins.
