EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artifact from ancient Egypt, the Hippopotamus Amulet. Created during the Late Dynasty 18 around 1336 BCE, this remarkable piece of art remains a mystery in terms of its creator. The amulet is beautifully crafted using the glass mosaic technique, resulting in a marbled appearance that adds to its allure. The image provides a close-up view of the amulet, highlighting its intricate details and vibrant colors. The white color dominates the object's shape, enhancing its elegance and symbolism. Hippos held great significance in Egyptian culture as symbols of fertility and protection against evil forces. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Art Centre, this artwork represents Africa's rich heritage and ancient Egyptian civilization. Its presence evokes curiosity about Mizraim (ancient Egypt) and their artistic prowess during the 14th century BC. As we admire this mesmerizing piece captured through photography, it transports us back in time to an era where craftsmanship thrived amidst cultural beliefs and traditions. This photograph serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with art throughout history.
