EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Scarabs with Inscriptions on Base, originating from Egypt during the Early Middle Kingdom-New Kingdom period. Dating back to Dynasties 11-20 (approximately 2055-1069 BCE), these scarabs offer an intriguing glimpse into ancient Egyptian art and culture. The image captures the intricate details of each scarab beetle, meticulously carved out of glazed steatite stone. The vibrant green color adds a touch of mystique to these artifacts, symbolizing rebirth and regeneration in ancient Egyptian beliefs. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago, this photograph invites viewers to explore the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Africa's most renowned civilization. It serves as a reminder that Egypt was not only a country but also a continent-spanning empire that thrived in the Middle East during its heyday. While their original purpose remains unknown, these scarabs hold significant historical value as they were believed to possess protective qualities or serve as amulets for their owners. Each inscription etched onto their base tells stories lost through time, leaving us intrigued about their true meaning and significance. As we gaze upon this close-up shot capturing every minute detail, we are transported back thousands of years ago when these small objects held great importance in daily life. This print is not just an artwork; it is a testament to human creativity and curiosity across centuries.
