EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Plaque with Representation of God Khonsu, originating from Egypt during the New Kingdom-Third Intermediate Period. Believed to have been created between the 7th and 11th centuries BCE, this remarkable piece belongs to Dynasties 18-25, which spanned from around 1550 to 664 BCE. The intricate carving on this oval-shaped plaque is truly awe-inspiring. Crafted from semi-precious stone, possibly jasper, it exudes an elegant cream color that adds to its allure. The attention to detail in depicting God Khonsu is remarkable; every hieroglyphic symbol and line has been meticulously carved into the stone. Khonsu, a prominent deity in ancient Egyptian religion, was associated with the moon and timekeeping. This plaque serves as a testament to the religious beliefs and practices of that era. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Africa and specifically Egypt. Now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art gallery dedicated to African arts, this object stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its unknown creator left behind an enduring legacy through their skillful craftsmanship and devotion to their faith. As we admire this photograph print by Unknown artist (not related to any commercial use), let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance in preserving our understanding of ancient civilizations like Mizraim (ancient Egypt).
