EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view of a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - the marriage scarab of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye. Dating back to the New Kingdom period, around 1391-1353 BC, this stone scarab is a testament to their union as husband and wife. The intricate relief work on the scarab depicts various symbols and hieroglyphs that hold significant meaning. The cartouche, representing the royal couple's names, stands out prominently amidst other inscriptions. This commemorative piece served as an announcement of their marriage, symbolizing their love and unity. As one gazes upon this extraordinary artwork housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, it transports us back in time to an era when pharaohs ruled over Egypt. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in every curve and line is truly awe-inspiring. The marriage scarab not only represents the bond between Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye but also serves as a historical record of their reign during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. It offers us a glimpse into their lives as powerful rulers who left an indelible mark on ancient Egyptian history. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these influential figures from antiquity. Their story continues to captivate our imaginations even after thousands of years have passed since they walked this earth.
