EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Scaraboid from ancient Egypt, specifically the New Kingdom period of Dynasties 18-20. Believed to have been crafted during the reign of Thutmose III onwards (around 1479-1069 BCE), this exquisite piece is a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural heritage of that era. The Scaraboid, resembling a grasshopper, is meticulously carved out of faience - a type of ceramic material commonly used in ancient Egyptian art. Its vibrant turquoise glaze adds an enchanting touch to its intricate design. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every minute detail and color variation on this remarkable amulet. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to African arts, this artifact offers viewers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism associated with ancient Egyptian civilization. It serves as a reminder of their reverence for animals and their belief in their protective powers. Despite being created over three millennia ago, this scaraboid continues to captivate modern audiences with its timeless beauty and craftsmanship. While its creator remains unknown, it stands as an enduring symbol of Egypt's Middle Eastern roots and cultural contributions. As we admire this stunning object, let us reflect upon how art can transcend time and connect us with civilizations long gone but never forgotten.
