EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Eye of Horus (Wedjat) Finger Ring, originating from ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom period in late Dynasty 18, around 1325 BCE. The ring is a remarkable example of African art and amulet craftsmanship. The close-up image reveals intricate details of this symbolic piece. Made from faience, a type of glazed ceramic, the ring features a vibrant turquoise color that adds to its allure. The Eye of Horus, also known as the Wedjat eye or Wejat eye, is prominently displayed on the front face of the ring. In ancient Egyptian culture, this symbol held great significance as it represented protection and wellbeing. Believed to possess magical powers, wearing such an amulet was thought to guard against evil forces and bring good fortune to its wearer. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captured the essence of Egyptian heritage art with their meticulous craftsmanship. This artifact serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural legacy of Egypt. Now housed at the Art Institute Chicago's Art Centre gallery, this print allows viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also delve into centuries-old traditions and beliefs surrounding protective jewelry in Middle Eastern cultures. As we gaze upon this timeless treasure through our modern lens, we are reminded that art has always been a universal language connecting us across time and continents.
