EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wood casket, dating back to approximately 1340 BC, showcases the rich and intricate artistry of the Egyptian New Kingdom. Discovered in the Treasure of Tutankhamun, this small chest was originally used to store sandals. The exterior of the casket is adorned with a vibrant painted scene, depicting a powerful Egyptian king riding his chariot in a fierce attack against his enemies. The interior of the casket is equally impressive, with intricate horizontal lines and colorful decorations. This exquisite piece of furniture was likely crafted during the New Kingdom period in Egypt, a time of great artistic and cultural achievements. The scene on the casket reflects the Egyptian belief in the king's divine role as a warrior and protector of his people. The use of color and detail in the painting is a testament to the advanced artistic techniques of the time. The casket was discovered in the Valley of the Kings, specifically in the tomb of Tutankhamun, located in the Theban Necropolis near Luxor, Egypt. Today, it is on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, allowing visitors from around the world to marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship of this ancient artifact. This casket is a unique glimpse into the lives of the ancient Egyptians and their beliefs, offering a window into their history and culture. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the time of pharaohs and chariots, of kings and their battles. This is a must-see for anyone interested in Egyptian history, art, or archaeology.
