EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the base of a marriage scarab belonging to Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, two prominent figures from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom era. Created during the 18th Dynasty, specifically between 1417-1379 BC, this stone artifact is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The intricate relief carving on the scarab's surface reveals an inscription adorned with taia (a type of headdress) and hieroglyphs. This commemorative piece symbolizes the union between Amenhotep III, a powerful pharaoh, and his beloved wife Queen Tiye. The presence of their names within cartouches further emphasizes their significance as royal individuals. Through these hieroglyphics and artistic details, this marriage scarab served as both an announcement and a celebration of their union. It stands as a testament to their love and partnership during one of Egypt's most prosperous periods. As we gaze upon this remarkable relic captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes. The craftsmanship displayed here not only reflects the skillful artistry of ancient Egyptian artisans but also offers us a glimpse into the lives of these influential rulers. This print serves as a reminder that even thousands of years later, love stories continue to captivate our hearts with their timeless beauty.
