This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art: the Ring: Head of Hathor. Created during the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18 (around 1390 BCE), this exquisite ring is a testament to the artistic prowess and religious significance of that era. Crafted from faience, a type of glazed ceramic, it features a close-up depiction of Hathor's head. Hathor, an important goddess in ancient Egyptian mythology, symbolized fertility and was revered as the divine mother. This stunning representation captures her serene yet powerful presence with intricate details and vibrant colors. The turquoise hue adds an enchanting touch to this sacred artifact. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's African Art Centre, this ring serves as a window into Africa's rich heritage and cultural legacy. It stands as an embodiment of Egypt's Middle Eastern roots while representing centuries-old craftsmanship. The unknown creator behind this masterpiece has left us in awe with their skillful execution and attention to detail.

This photograph not only preserves the beauty of this precious artifact but also allows us to appreciate its profound symbolism within Egyptian society.
