EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lid of an unguent jar in the form of an ibex, discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Crafted during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this exquisite piece is made from painted alabaster and can be found at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The attention to detail on this ancient artifact is truly remarkable. The eyes of the ibex are delicately inlaid with bronze and glass-paste, adding a touch of brilliance to its already stunning appearance. Adorned with hieroglyphics and a royal cartouche, it serves as a testament to Tutankhamun's reign as King of Ancient Egypt. The intricate design captures both the beauty and symbolism that was significant to ancient Egyptian culture. The horn-shaped lid represents strength and power, while also serving as a vessel for precious oils or perfumes used by royalty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years into a world filled with mystery and wonder. It reminds us of the incredible craftsmanship that existed during this time period and offers us a glimpse into one small aspect of Tutankhamun's lavish tomb. This print is not only visually striking but also holds immense historical value. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery displayed by ancient Egyptians and their deep reverence for animals within their religious beliefs.
