EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Scarab: Maatkara (Hatshepsut) from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom, specifically Dynasty 18. Believed to have been created during the reign of Hatshepsut around 1473-1458 BCE, this artifact is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of African civilization. The scarab beetle, meticulously carved out of beige soapstone or steatite, is presented in stunning close-up detail. Its intricate hieroglyphic engravings symbolize rebirth and hold profound significance within Egyptian culture. The hieroglyphics serve as a written record that transports us back in time to an era when writing was still a mystical art form. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago's Art Centre, this piece represents an important chapter in human history. It offers viewers a glimpse into the fascinating world of ancient Egypt - its customs, beliefs, and artistic achievements. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Middle Eastern origins, it reminds us of Africa's immense contributions to global civilization throughout centuries past. The Scarab: Maatkara (Hatshepsut) serves as a powerful reminder that art transcends time and connects us with our ancestors' wisdom and creativity. Through this photograph by an unknown artist, we are invited to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance embedded within this small yet mighty object from one of humanity's most iconic civilizations.
