EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - the Scarab: Menkheperura (Thutmose IV). Dating back to the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, and specifically the reign of Thutmose IV around 1400-1390 BCE, this piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Africa. The scarab beetle holds great significance in Egyptian mythology and symbolism, representing rebirth and transformation. This intricately carved ceramic scarab is made of glazed steatite, giving it a stunning green color that adds to its allure. The hieroglyphics engraved on its surface further enhance its historical value. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art gallery, this artifact offers visitors an opportunity to delve into the ancient world and appreciate the artistic mastery of Middle Eastern civilizations. Its presence serves as a reminder of Egypt's profound influence on art and culture throughout history.
