EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of the king, discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun and dating back to approximately 1370-1352 BC. Created during the Egyptian New Kingdom by the skilled artisans of the 18th Dynasty, this gilded wooden masterpiece now resides in the prestigious Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The statuette depicts King Tutankhamun himself, adorned with the iconic white crown of Upper Egypt. It is a testament to ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and attention to detail, as every aspect of his regal attire is meticulously represented. The figure holds a sceptre and an uraeus on his forehead, symbolizing his divine authority as pharaoh. Intricate golden embellishments adorn his staff and flail, further emphasizing his royal status. The presence of these symbols signifies both power and protection for the young pharaoh. Additionally, he carries a fouet or whip—a symbol associated with kingship and control over enemies. This photograph allows us to marvel at not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. The fine details captured by Bridgeman Images bring this ancient artifact to life once more. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from antiquity, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and opulence that surrounded King Tutankhamun during his reign.
