1349 1386 Amenhotep I Ii Survived Twelve Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient Egyptian masterpiece, the regal figure of Queen Tiy, daughter of Yuya and Tuya, radiates an aura of power and grace. Dating from circa 1386-1349 BC, this image captures Tiy during her later years, having survived the death of her husband, Pharaoh Amenhotep III, by an impressive twelve years. Queen Tiy's striking headdress, adorned with the vulture goddess Nekhbet, signifies her status as a queen consort and her divine protection. The intricate gold collar, adorned with precious stones, further emphasizes her royal lineage and wealth. Her elegant attire, consisting of a sheer linen dress and a voluminous pleated skirt, is a testament to the opulence of the Egyptian court during the New Kingdom period. The delicate features of Tiy's face, her serene expression, and the gentle curve of her lips suggest a woman of wisdom, strength, and beauty. Her eyes, framed by thick kohl eyeliner, are closed in a peaceful repose, reflecting the tranquility and spirituality that were valued in ancient Egyptian culture. Tiy's significance extends beyond her role as a queen consort, as she and her husband, Amenhotep III, are believed to have played a crucial role in the religious and political developments of Egypt during their reign. Their influence can be seen in the construction of grand temples, the promotion of the cult of Amun-Ra, and the establishment of a prosperous and peaceful era known as the Amarna Period. This image of Queen Tiy not only offers a glimpse into the life of a powerful and influential queen but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt.
