EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Treasure of Tutankhamen" specifically highlighting the gilded chapel of canopic jars or canopic casket. The intricate details and craftsmanship are truly remarkable, as seen in this close-up featuring the goddess Selket. The Egyptian civilization's New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII, left behind a legacy of extraordinary antiquities, and this gilded shrine is no exception. Made from metal and adorned with ornate designs, it serves as a testament to the skillful artistry prevalent during that era. The image transports us back in time to an ancient chapel where these precious canopic jars were housed. Each jar was meticulously crafted to hold vital organs during mummification rituals, symbolizing rebirth and protection for the deceased. Goddess Selket stands tall within this vertical composition, her female likeness exuding power and grace. As one of Egypt's revered deities associated with healing and magic, she adds an air of mystique to this already enchanting scene. Hieroglyphs adorning the walls further emphasize the rich cultural heritage embedded within every inch of this masterpiece. Dating back to the 14th century BC during Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty, it serves as a tangible link connecting us to an ancient world steeped in spirituality and belief systems that continue to captivate our imagination today. In this photograph devoid of human presence but brimming with history and artistry, we are reminded once again why ancient Egyptian culture remains an endless source of fascination
