EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scarab: Gods and Hieroglyphs, Egypt, New Kingdom-Late Period" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back to ancient Egypt. The image showcases a beautifully carved scarab beetle made of soapstone or steatite, symbolizing rebirth and religious significance in Egyptian culture. The intricate hieroglyphics adorning the scarab's body tell stories of gods and deities from Dynasties 18-26 (1550-525 BCE), providing a glimpse into the rich heritage art of this African country. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the fine details and craftsmanship that went into creating this remarkable piece. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artifact represents the arts of Africa with its beige color palette and Middle Eastern influences. It serves as a reminder of how art transcends time and connects us to our ancestors' beliefs and traditions. As we gaze upon this mysterious object, we are transported to an era when writing was expressed through pictorial symbols known as hieroglyphics. This stone scarab not only holds historical value but also acts as a tangible link between past civilizations and our present understanding of religion, culture, and identity. Through this photograph by an unknown artist, we are invited to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt while contemplating humanity's eternal quest for meaning within their artistic expressions.
