EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Treasure of Tanis" a remarkable artifact from the Egyptian civilization during the Third Intermediate Period, specifically Dynasty XXI-XXII. Against a striking black background, we are presented with an alluring gold pendant featuring two distinct elements: Isis and a scarab breastplate. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. The intricate details of both figures highlight the mastery of ancient Egyptian art and craft. The vertical composition emphasizes its elegance and grandeur, making it a standout addition to any collection. Isis, an iconic Egyptian goddess associated with motherhood, magic, and fertility, is depicted here in her divine form. Her female likeness exudes power and grace as she stands tall on the pendant's surface. Adjacent to her figure lies a beautifully rendered scarab beetle—a symbol often associated with rebirth and protection in ancient Egypt. Dating back to the New Kingdom era within the 21st dynasty, this pendant offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture through its animal representation and religious iconography. As part of the renowned Treasure of Tanis collection discovered at Tanis—an important archaeological site—this artifact holds immense historical significance. In this studio shot by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are invited to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its rich cultural heritage. This print serves as a testament to mankind's ability to create enduring works that transcend time itself while reminding us of our fascination with antiquities from distant civilizations like Ancient Egypt
