EDITORS COMMENTS
This scarab print showcases a baboon in reverence before the throne name of Pharaoh Ramses II, hailing from the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt around 1304-1201 BCE. The unknown creator masterfully crafted this piece from steatite, a type of mineral stone, and added modern green color to enhance its visual appeal. The central figure of the composition is the baboon, a revered animal deity in Egyptian mythology, often associated with the god Thoth, the god of wisdom and knowledge. The baboon's posture exudes a sense of respect and devotion as it bows before the throne name of Ramses II, which is inscribed with the pharaoh's cartouche, "Usermaatra Setepenra," meaning "Established Justly, Beloved of Ptah." The scarab beetle, an insect sacred to the sun god Ra, is also depicted on the scarab, symbolizing rebirth and transformation. The hieroglyphic inscriptions on the scarab further emphasize the religious and royal significance of the piece. This exquisite artifact is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The intricate details and the harmonious blend of colors make this scarab a stunning piece of art that continues to captivate and inspire admiration from people around the world.
