EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Phoenician civilization dating back to the 6th-5th century BC. The centerpiece of this exquisite piece is a carnelian scarab, meticulously carved with intricate details and set in lustrous gold. Depicting the ancient Egyptian deities Isis and Horus as a child, this artwork beautifully captures their divine bond. The scarab beetle, symbolizing rebirth and regeneration in ancient Egypt, holds great significance in this composition. Its presence adds an element of mystique to the overall design. The male likeness of Horus represents power and protection, while the female likeness of Isis embodies motherhood and fertility. Through careful craftsmanship, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into the rich history and religious beliefs of these ancient civilizations. It serves as a testament to their artistic prowess and devotion to their gods. Photographed against colored backgrounds - grey or otherwise - allows for enhanced focus on every minute detail present on this single object. This studio shot emphasizes its importance as an archaeological artifact that has survived through time. As we explore such treasures from our past, we gain deeper insights into human representation throughout different eras. This particular piece not only reflects skilled artistry but also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with religion, history, and antiquities.
