This print showcases a remarkable Scaraboid from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom, specifically Dynasty 18 (about 1550-1295 BCE). Crafted by an unknown creator, this oval-shaped amulet is made of glazed steatite, commonly known as soapstone. The intricate carving depicts a fish, symbolizing aquatic life and its significance in Egyptian culture. The vibrant colors and meticulous details of this scaraboid are truly awe-inspiring. Its glaze adds a mesmerizing sheen to the stone, enhancing the overall visual appeal. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's renowned Art Centre, this artifact represents one of Africa's most treasured heritage arts. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural legacy.
