EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rear view of one of the canopic coffins discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun, dating back to approximately 1370-1352 BC during the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt. Crafted with exquisite detail, this coffin is made from beaten gold and adorned with intricate inlays of colored glass and cornelian. The canopic coffins were an integral part of Egyptian burial rituals, as they housed the internal organs of the deceased pharaoh. Each organ was carefully preserved and placed within a separate container like this one. This particular coffin stands at a height of 29.5 centimeters, with dimensions measuring 12.5x11.5 cm. Displayed at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this remarkable artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural practices surrounding death and afterlife beliefs in ancient Egypt. The rear view reveals fascinating details such as hieroglyphics inscribed on its surface, depicting symbols that held significant meaning for Egyptians during that time period. The royal headdress adorning the back features an osiride motif - a representation of Osiris, god of resurrection and eternal life. This stunning photograph captures not only the beauty but also serves as a testament to human craftsmanship and reverence for life beyond death throughout different civilizations across time.
