EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ostrich-feather fan from the Tomb of Tutankhamun, dating back to approximately 1370-1352 BC. Crafted during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this stunning artifact measures 10.5x18.5 cm and is currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The fan's handle extends to a length of 95cm, while remnants of feathers can still be observed within the holes along its outer edge. Covered with sheet gold, this ornate piece reflects the opulence and grandeur associated with ancient Egyptian royalty. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 within the Valley of the Kings, this remarkable find offers a glimpse into Tutankhamun's lavish burial treasures. The delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this fan. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when ostrich feathers were highly prized for their beauty and rarity. This fan would have been used not only as a functional tool but also as a symbol of status and power. Through its depiction on this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and gain insight into ancient Egyptian culture. It serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years, these artifacts continue to captivate our imagination and provide valuable insights into our shared human history.
