EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the treasure of Tutankhamun, offering us a glimpse into the ancient Egyptian world dating back to 1325 BC. The pectoral jewel depicts Horus, the falcon-headed god, adorned with a radiant sun disc (aten) and an ankh symbolizing life in each claw. Once revered as a powerful sky and sun deity, Horus later merged with Horus, son of Isis and Osiris. Discovered within the pharaoh's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922, this exquisite piece is part of the renowned Treasure of Tutankhamun. Crafted during Egypt's New Kingdom period under the 18th dynasty rule, it exemplifies both religious significance and exceptional artistry. The semi-precious stones used in its creation add vibrant colors that enhance its beauty further. This stunning representation of divine power reflects not only ancient Egyptian beliefs but also their advanced knowledge in science and astronomy. As we admire this intricate jewelry piece through this print captured by Ann Ronan Pictures' lens, we are transported to a time when gods ruled over daily life in Egypt. It serves as a testament to their rich culture and unwavering devotion to religion. Let this image immerse you in awe-inspiring history as you explore the symbolism behind every detail - from sacred birds like falcons representing divinity to the country itself where these beliefs thrived: Egypt.
