EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statuette of the king upon a Leopard" from the Tomb of Tutankhamun, dating back to approximately 1370-1352 BC during the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt. Crafted with wood and gilded bronze, this magnificent sculpture stands at an impressive height of 85.6 cm. The statuette depicts a powerful Egyptian pharaoh riding upon a regal leopard, symbolizing his authority and dominance. The king is adorned with the white crown of Upper Egypt, signifying his noble status. In one hand, he holds a black sceptre representing his power and control over his kingdom. In the other hand, he grasps a staff made of gold. Every intricate detail on this statuette reflects the grandeur and superior craftsmanship that was characteristic of ancient Egyptian artistry. From the carefully sculpted features on both figures to their meticulously designed headpieces and decorative elements such as flails and fouets, every aspect exudes an air of majesty. Preserved within Tutankhamun's tomb for centuries before being discovered by archaeologists in modern times, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. Now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by pharaohs like Tutankhamun.
