EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art - a plaque from the lid of a coffer depicting Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamun in an enchanting garden. Created during the New Kingdom period, this exquisite artwork is painted on ivory by skilled artists from the 18th Dynasty. The scene depicted on the plaque is truly mesmerizing. In the foreground, we see Tutankhamun, adorned in regal attire, holding a lotus flower symbolizing rebirth and purity. Beside him stands his beautiful wife Ankhesenamun, radiating elegance and grace. They are surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers that create an idyllic setting for their royal encounter. Intriguingly, the lower frieze of this masterpiece reveals additional details about life in ancient Egypt. A servant girl and man can be seen carefully picking mandrakes - known as "the fruit of love" - adding an element of mystery to this already captivating composition. Preserved within the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this extraordinary artifact offers us a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of one of history's most fascinating civilizations. The attention to detail and skillful execution make it evident why Tutankhamun's tomb was hailed as one of archaeology's greatest discoveries. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, let us marvel at how art has transcended time to connect us with our ancestors' rich cultural heritage while reminding us that
