EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Senet gaming board, discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun during the early 20th century. Crafted during the 14th century BC, this ancient game board is an exquisite example of Egyptian artistry and craftsmanship. Made from wood veneered with ebony and delicately inlaid with ivory, this Senet board was among the treasures found within Tutankhamun's remarkably intact burial chamber. The discovery of his tomb by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922 marked a significant milestone in Egyptology, as it provided unprecedented insights into ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs. Senet was a popular pastime enjoyed by both commoners and royalty alike. This strategic board game held great significance for Egyptians, symbolizing their journey through life to reach the afterlife. Its inclusion within Tutankhamun's grave goods further emphasizes its importance as an essential companion for eternity. Now housed at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, this artifact serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. The intricate details on this Senet gaming board reflect not only the skill of its creators but also their reverence for death and mausoleum rituals. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back to ancient times, where they can marvel at the beauty of Egyptian art while contemplating humanity's eternal fascination with games and mortality.
