EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an ancient Egyptian artifact known as the Scarab: Criosphinx and Ma at with Name of Amun-Ra. Dating back to the New Kingdom-Late Period, specifically Dynasties 18-26 (around 1550-525 BCE), this piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. The image captures a close-up view of the scarab beetle, which holds great significance in Egyptian mythology and religion. The creature is intricately carved from faience, a type of glazed ceramic that was highly valued during this time period. Its vibrant turquoise color adds to its allure. Atop the scarab sits a mythical beast known as Criosphinx, symbolizing power and strength. It is accompanied by Ma at, an important goddess associated with truth, justice, and balance. The name of Amun-Ra, one of Egypt's most revered deities representing sun god Amun fused with Ra - god of creation and rebirth - adorns this remarkable artifact. The hieroglyphics etched onto the scarab further enhance its historical value by providing insights into ancient Egyptian writing and language. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from centuries ago, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance that flourished in Middle Eastern civilization. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery dedicated to African arts, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Egypt's artistic achievements but also its profound religious beliefs and cultural traditions passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years later, these artifacts continue to inspire awe and fascination among art enthusiasts worldwide.
