EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom period during the reign of Amenhotep II. The image captures a close-up view of a beautifully carved scarab beetle made from glazed steatite, also known as soapstone. This exquisite piece of art is believed to date back to around 1427-1400 BCE. The scarab beetle holds great significance in Egyptian culture and symbolism, representing rebirth and transformation. It was considered a powerful amulet that provided protection and good luck to its wearer. The hieroglyphics engraved on this stone sculpture further enhance its historical value, offering insights into the intricate writing system used by ancient Egyptians. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Art Centre, this artifact exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of Africa and highlights Egypt's prominent role in shaping Middle Eastern civilization during that era.
