EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the base of a marriage scarab belonging to Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, two prominent figures from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom period. Created between 1417-1379 BC, this stone artifact is a remarkable testament to their union during the years of 1391-1353 BC. The intricate relief carving on the scarab depicts various hieroglyphics and inscriptions that symbolize love, commitment, and royalty. The inclusion of Taia, Amenhotep III's wife, further emphasizes their marital bond. As pharaohs of Egypt, these individuals held immense power and influence over their kingdom. The commemorative nature of this piece suggests that it served as an announcement or celebration of their wedding. The presence of cartouches - oval-shaped enclosures containing royal names - signifies the importance placed on preserving their legacy for eternity. Displayed at the Louvre in Paris, France, this Egyptian artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt. Its out-of-copyright status allows for its widespread appreciation without any commercial restrictions. Through Bridgeman Images' expert photography skills, we can now admire every detail with clarity and precision. This print serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years have passed since its creation, art continues to connect us with our ancestors' stories and achievements.
