EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian jewelry - the Flexible bead bracelet from the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Crafted during the New Kingdom period, this exquisite bracelet is made of gold and carnelian, adorned with intricate gold, faience, and glass beads. With a length of 16.2 cm, it now resides in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The significance of this bracelet lies not only in its stunning craftsmanship but also in its historical context. It was discovered on the right arm of Tutankhamun's mummy, emphasizing its connection to one of Ancient Egypt's most famous pharaohs. Tutankhamun reigned during the 18th Dynasty (c. 1567-1320 BC) and left an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when jewelry held deep cultural symbolism for Egyptians. The presence of symbols such as the udjat eye (Eye of Horus), cartouche (royal nameplate), and wedjat (protective amulet) further enhances our understanding and appreciation for this artifact's spiritual importance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art pieces like this one, we can marvel at every delicate detail preserved through time. This print allows us to delve into Egypt's rich heritage while reminding us that beauty transcends centuries and continues to captivate our imaginations today.
