EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an ancient Egyptian pendant, believed to have belonged to King Tutankhamun. The pendant takes the form of a boat and features the symbol of the gods' resurrection, a powerful representation of eternal life in Egyptian mythology. Crafted during the New Kingdom period around 1370-52 BC, this remarkable piece is made from gold and adorned with semi-precious stones. Its intricate details are truly awe-inspiring, as every element has been meticulously designed and executed by skilled artisans from the 18th Dynasty. Measuring an impressive 49 cm in length, this pendant is now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into their beliefs surrounding immortality and divine power. The boat-shaped design represents both physical and spiritual journeys undertaken by pharaohs after death. Additionally, symbols such as ouas (the sign of eternal youth), cornelian key of life, scarab beetle, solar disc, serpent uraeus, djed pillar signify protection against evil forces and assurance for rebirth. With its symmetrical composition featuring vibrant colors like green feldspar, turquoise blue lapis lazuli accents alongside carnelian snakes and amber reptiles; this pendant exemplifies not only artistic excellence but also reverence for nature's creatures. As we admire this extraordinary artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every minute detail with precision; we can't help but marvel at how
