EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Kingdom of Amenhotep III. The focal point is a burial mask made for Queen Tuya, crafted with meticulous attention to detail using plastered cloth, gold leaf, vitreous pastes, and alabaster. Originating from Thebes and discovered in the tomb of Yuya and Tuya, this particular shot captures a close-up view of the mask's intricate necklace. The craftsmanship displayed in this ancient Egyptian artifact is truly remarkable. Every element has been carefully designed to reflect the opulence and grandeur associated with royalty during that era. The use of gold leaf adds an ethereal glow to the piece while vitreous pastes create vibrant bursts of color against its pale backdrop. As we delve into history through this image, it becomes evident how significant jewelry was in ancient civilizations.

Through this studio shot devoid of any human presence, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within eternity - an emblematic representation of ancient Egyptian culture. This archaeological treasure allows us to marvel at their mastery over materials like alabaster and their ability to transform them into objects that have stood the test of time. In conclusion, this photograph not only captures an extraordinary archeological artifact but also offers us a glimpse into our rich historical heritage – reminding us once again that art transcends generations and continues to inspire
