EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom period of Dynasty 18. The image features a beautifully carved scarab beetle made out of soapstone or steatite, symbolizing rebirth and regeneration in Egyptian culture. The scarab is intricately detailed with hieroglyphics, representing the reign of Nebmaatra (Amenhotep III) and his queen Tiye. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating this exquisite piece. Its beige color adds an earthy tone that complements its historical significance. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich heritage of African art and highlights Egypt's prominent role in shaping ancient civilizations. Displayed at an art gallery or museum like the Art Institute of Chicago, this scarab offers viewers a glimpse into the mysteries and wonders of Middle Eastern history. It transports us back to a time when hieroglyphs were used as written communication, providing valuable insights into their beliefs and customs. While we may not know who exactly crafted this masterpiece due to its unknown artist attribution, it remains an invaluable treasure that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
