EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Golden Shrine, Tutankhamun's Treasure. Crafted during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty (c. 1567-1320 BC), this exquisite piece measures 50.5x26.5x32 cm and is currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum, Cairo, Egypt. In this scene captured on the print, we witness an intimate moment between King Tutankhamun and his queen. The king delicately pours water from a vessel into the cupped right hand of his beloved partner. This gesture symbolizes their deep connection and mutual respect within their royal union. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings, this extraordinary artifact offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and artistry during the New Kingdom's Rameside period. The intricate woodwork overlaid with gesso and covered with sheet gold exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship that prevailed during this era. As we admire this remarkable image, let us marvel at its historical significance as well as its artistic beauty. Through archaeology and preservation efforts like those undertaken by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate these timeless treasures that continue to captivate our imagination today.
