EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom period of Dynasties 18-20 (1550-1069 BCE). The image features a scarab beetle intricately carved out of black glass, depicting two standing deities. These deities represent an essential aspect of Egyptian religion and symbolize rebirth and divine protection. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and line on the scarab's body has been meticulously crafted, showcasing the exceptional skill of its creator. The use of black color adds depth and mystery to the piece, enhancing its overall allure. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when hieroglyphics were used as a form of written communication. The presence of hieroglyphics on the scarab further emphasizes its significance within religious practices during that period. Located at an art institute in Chicago, this artifact serves as a testament to Africa's rich heritage and cultural contributions. It reminds us of Egypt's profound influence on art throughout history, particularly in terms of symbolism and storytelling through visual representation. While the artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, their legacy lives on through their extraordinary craftsmanship. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance embedded within this small yet powerful object from ancient Egypt.
