EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an ancient Egyptian artifact known as "Scarab: Two Seated Deities". Dating back to the New Kingdom, Ramesside Period (Dynasties 19-20), which spanned from approximately 1295-1069 BCE, this remarkable piece of art offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Africa. The scarab beetle, meticulously carved from stone and adorned with vibrant turquoise color, takes center stage in this close-up image. Revered as a symbol of rebirth and religious significance in ancient Egypt, the scarab holds great importance in their mythology. Seated atop the beetle are two deities whose identities remain unknown. Their regal figures exude power and divinity, hinting at their god-like status within Egyptian belief systems. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this sculpture - from the delicate carving on each deity's face to the carefully etched hieroglyphics that surround them. Displayed prominently at an art gallery or museum such as the Art Institute Chicago's African Arts Centre, this artwork serves as a testament to Egypt's profound influence on art throughout history. It transports viewers back thousands of years, allowing them to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural significance. As we marvel at this masterpiece by an unknown artist, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with our ancestors' beliefs and traditions.
