EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Eye of Ra pectoral, a remarkable piece from the Tomb of Tutankhamun during the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Crafted with exquisite detail using gold and blue faience, this artifact is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. The Eye of Ra, distinguished by an inscription on its eye that differentiates it from the Eye of Horus, holds immense significance in Egyptian mythology. It symbolizes protection and power, serving as a talisman for those who wore it. The hieroglyphic symbol beneath the eye further emphasizes its role as a guardian against evil forces. Displayed at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this precious relic offers us a glimpse into Tutankhamun's reign (c. 1370-1352 BC), one filled with mystery and intrigue. Its intricate design includes elements such as an uraeus necklace adorned with cobras and beads, adding to its allure and beauty. Photographed by eBoltin Picture Library under Bridgeman Images' collection, this image captures every intricate detail of this historical treasure while preserving its timeless elegance. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and marvel at how art can transcend time to tell stories that have captivated humanity for centuries.
