EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ivory headrest supported by a figure, originating from Ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty around 1325 BC. Part of the renowned Treasure of Tutankhamun, this remarkable artifact was discovered in the pharaoh's tomb and is currently housed at the Cairo Museum in Egypt. The headrest itself is a testament to the artistic mastery of its creator, whose identity remains unknown. Carved with intricate details, it features a male figure supporting the rest with his outstretched arms. The lifelike depiction captures both strength and elegance as if frozen in time. The use of ivory adds to its allure, showcasing the wealth and luxury associated with ancient Egyptian burial goods. This particular piece offers insight into the New Kingdom era and serves as a symbol of status and comfort during one's eternal slumber. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back thousands of years to witness not only an extraordinary work of art but also gain glimpses into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and mausoleums. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, these objects continue to captivate our imagination while preserving their cultural significance for generations to come.
