EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Necklace of the Rising Sun" from the tomb of Tutankhamun, a remarkable artifact dating back to approximately 1370-52 BC during Egypt's New Kingdom. Crafted by skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this necklace is made of gold inlaid with semi-precious stones. The intricate details captured in this close-up shot reveal a divine bark bearing the sun god and an anthropomorphic god named Heh holding a hieroglyphic symbolizing eternity. The pendant features various elements such as snakes, representing sacred animals associated with Thoth, the moon god; cobras symbolizing protection and royalty; scarab beetles embodying rebirth and resurrection; and baboons signifying wisdom. Each element on this openwork pectoral holds deep significance within ancient Egyptian culture, reflecting their beliefs in deities, animal symbolism, and eternal life. This stunning piece exemplifies the mastery of craftsmanship that prevailed during that era. Preserved at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical importance. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the splendor and spirituality that defined ancient Egyptian civilization.
