EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mirror case in the form of an ankh, discovered within the illustrious Tomb of Tutankhamun. Dating back to the New Kingdom era (c. 1370-1352 BC), this exquisite piece was crafted by skilled artisans from gold-plated wood, measuring 27x13x4 cm. The ankh, symbolizing life and immortality in ancient Egypt, takes center stage in this remarkable artifact. Flanking the king's name are delicate lotus flowers, representing purity and rebirth. The intricate hieroglyphics adorning the surface further emphasize its regal significance. Preserved within the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this mirror case offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's reign. Its gilded exterior exudes luxury while reflecting upon its owner's status as a divine ruler. Capturing both historical and artistic intrigue, this photograph transports us back to a time when kings held immense power and their possessions were adorned with utmost splendor. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this masterpiece but also gain insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding life and afterlife.
