EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - the Coffer from the treasury of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Dating back to approximately 1370-52 BC, this exquisite piece was created during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, which thrived between 1567-1320 BC. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this coffer is made of wood and ivory adorned with applied gold and silver accents. Measuring at an impressive size of 42.5x48.3x45 cm, it currently resides in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The interior of this magnificent chest is divided into sixteen compartments, each holding its own secrets and treasures. The fretwork motifs adorning its surface bear the names of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamun, adding a personal touch to this royal artifact. Symbolism abounds within this coffer; hieroglyphs representing life (the key of life) and protection (the ouas symbol) are intricately carved onto its exterior. This wooden chest holds not only physical riches but also spiritual significance for those who appreciate ancient Egyptian culture. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and craftsmanship that characterized one of history's most enigmatic pharaohs - Tutankhamun. Let us marvel at this treasure as it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic mastery across millennia.
