EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian jewelry - the Ring: Neferkheperure-Waenre (Akhenaten). Crafted during the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, and believed to have been worn by Akhenaten himself, this ring is an exquisite testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors of this ceramic masterpiece. Made from faience, a type of glazed pottery commonly used in ancient Egypt, the ring features a striking turquoise hue that adds an air of elegance and mystique. Its decorative elements are meticulously crafted, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship prevalent during that era. As we delve into its historical significance, we are transported back in time to approximately 1352-1336 BCE when Akhenaten reigned as Pharaoh. Known for his religious reforms and devotion to Aten - the sun god - Akhenaten's reign marked a significant departure from traditional Egyptian beliefs. This ring serves as both a symbol of his power and an artifact representing this transformative period in Egyptian history. Now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago's African Art Centre gallery, this precious object offers visitors a glimpse into Africa's cultural legacy. As we admire its beauty and contemplate its mysterious origins, let us marvel at how art can transcend time and connect us with our ancestors' stories.
