EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a portable chest discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Crafted during the New Kingdom period, specifically by the Egyptian 18th Dynasty around 1567-1320 BC, this exquisite piece is made of cedar and ebony with ebony veneer and inlaid ivory. Measuring at an impressive 83x60.5x63.5 cm, this chest can be seen as both functional and ornamental. The intricate hieroglyphs adorning its surface tell stories of power, spirituality, and royalty. A depiction of King Tutankhamun himself alongside a god further emphasizes his divine status. The presence of poles attached to the chest suggests that it was designed for easy transportation, allowing the king's belongings to accompany him on his journey through life or even into the afterlife. Currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this treasure serves as a testament to ancient craftsmanship and artistic mastery. Its preservation allows us to marvel at its beauty while also gaining insight into the rich history and culture of Ancient Egypt. Through this photograph captured by eBoltin Picture Library from Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into an era long gone but never forgotten - where pharaohs ruled with grandeur and their possessions were adorned with symbols that held immense significance.
