EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite inlay of Akhenaten or Nefertiti, dating back to the New Kingdom's Armana period around 1353-1336 B. C. Crafted from glass by skilled Egyptian artisans during the 13th Dynasty, this miniature artifact stands at a height of 4.3 cm and is now part of a private collection. The attention to detail is remarkable as the eye and eyebrow are recessed for inlay, while the pierced earlobe adds an intriguing touch. Delicate incised vanity wrinkles on the neck further emphasize the craftsmanship involved in creating this piece. The vibrant blue hue, reminiscent of turquoise, enhances its regal allure. As one gazes upon this fragmentary artwork, it transports us back to ancient Egypt's grandeur and magnificence. Akhenaten or Nefertiti's presence evokes thoughts of royalty and power that once reigned over North Africa. This artifact serves as a testament to their reigns' significance within African history. With its antiquity preserved through time, this archaeological treasure offers valuable insights into Egyptian culture and artistry. It reminds us of their mastery in sculpture and their ability to create enduring works that continue to captivate audiences today. As we admire this image captured by eChristies Images courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we can't help but marvel at how such a small object holds so much historical weight and artistic beauty within its delicate features.
