EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Ring of Sun God Ra in his Bark Being Worshipped by Baboons" from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom. Dating back to the 18th and 19th dynasties (approximately 1550-1186 BCE), this remarkable artifact offers a glimpse into the rich religious and artistic traditions of ancient Egyptian civilization. The image captures a close-up view of a soapstone or steatite ring, intricately carved with exquisite detail. The central focus is on the depiction of Ra, the powerful sun god, seated within his divine bark. Surrounding him are baboons, revered as sacred animals associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing. The vibrant colors bring life to this centuries-old creation, highlighting its significance as both an object of worship and a work of art. The mastery behind its craftsmanship reflects the skillful hands that shaped it so long ago. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery, this piece represents one small fragment from Africa's vast heritage art collection. It serves as a testament to Egypt's profound cultural contributions throughout history. As we gaze upon this photograph print by an unknown artist, we are transported back in time to witness an awe-inspiring moment where humans worshipped their deities through intricate objects like this magnificent ring.
