EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning scarab print showcases the fusion of ancient Egyptian animal worship and intricate craftsmanship. The scarab, a symbol of rebirth and transformation, is depicted with the hippo goddess Taweret on its back. Taweret was a protective deity, often invoked during childbirth to ensure safe delivery and ward off evil. Her image is characterized by her large, fearsome form, adorned with the heads of a hippopotamus and a crocodile, and holding a scepter and a palm leaf. This piece dates back to the 18th-20th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, around 1569-1081 BCE. The scarab is made of blue-green faience, a type of ceramic that was popular during this time due to its durability and vibrant color. The glazing technique used on the scarab, likely tin glazed, adds an additional layer of protection and enhances the turquoise hue. The close-up perspective of the image offers a detailed view of the intricate carvings on the scarab's surface. The hippo goddess Taweret is depicted with a serene expression, her body covered in intricate patterns and symbols. The scarab's wings are spread wide, suggesting the idea of transformation and renewal. This scarab print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the deep reverence for their gods. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a leading institution dedicated to collecting and preserving art from around the world. The scarab's intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian art and religion.
