EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, known as the Scarab: Wish Formula. Dating back to the New Kingdom-Late Period, specifically Dynasties 18-26 (approximately 1295-525 BCE), this piece carries immense historical and cultural significance. The scarab beetle, intricately carved in beige ceramic faience, serves as a symbol of rebirth and transformation in Egyptian mythology. Its mesmerizing glazed finish adds an enchanting touch to its overall appearance. The hieroglyphics adorning the scarab's surface further enhance its allure, representing a wish formula that holds mysterious power. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art gallery, this artifact is part of their extensive collection highlighting arts from Africa and ancient civilizations. It offers visitors a glimpse into the rich heritage of Middle Eastern countries like Egypt. The photograph beautifully captures the close-up details of this extraordinary object, allowing viewers to appreciate its fine craftsmanship and symbolic meaning. Despite being created by an unknown artist centuries ago, it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when these scarabs were cherished possessions believed to bring good fortune and grant wishes. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with art and our desire to connect with cultures long gone but not forgotten.
