A Gallery of Ancient Egyptian Art

Ancient Egyptian art was created to serve a practical purpose, not for its own sake, and so every piece had a specific function. At the same time, these works were crafted in accordance with the cultural value of ma'at (harmony) and so attention was paid to symmetry, balance, and aesthetics.

A statue of a deity was made as a home for that god or goddess just as one made of a king – or a peasant – was created as an eternal image of that person that their soul would recognize and respond to after death but still needed to be aesthetically pleasing. Intricate amulets, bangles, and charms served to protect one from evil spirits, bad luck, and ghosts but were also decorative. Even ceramics, cosmetic spoons and boxes, and perfume bottles, all created for functional purposes, ornamented with symbols of protection and reminders of the gifts of the gods, were still fashioned to be visually stunning.

The images in this gallery include some of the most famous works of ancient Egyptian art and others seldom seen. Statues range from deities to kings and queens to peasants and pets and wall paintings from simple domestic scenes like preparing a duck to the afterlife image of judgment before the god Osiris. The artists of ancient Egypt addressed all aspects of one’s journey through life and after death and, in doing so, created some of the most memorable artworks in world history.

Ankh cross pendant - 49$

Introducing the Ankh Cross Pendant - a silver pendant featuring the iconic Egyptian cross known as the Ankh. • Material: 925 Sterling Silver • Height - 1,49 inches (3,8 cm) • Width - 1,29 inches (3,3 cm) • Weight - approx. 6 grams (0,21 oz)

The Ankh is one of the most recognizable symbols from ancient Egypt, often referred to as "the key of life" or the "cross of life." Its origins can be traced back to the Early Dynastic Period of ancient Egypt, dating from around 3150 to 2613 BCE. The Ankh is characterized by its cross shape with a loop at the top, which can sometimes be adorned with symbols or decorative flourishes, but most commonly appears as a plain cross. The Ankh holds profound symbolism in Egyptian culture. It is an Egyptian hieroglyph representing "life" or the "breath of life" (`nh = ankh). The ancient Egyptians believed in the continuity of life beyond the earthly realm, and the Ankh symbolizes both mortal existence and the afterlife. It serves as a powerful reminder of the eternal journey and the interconnectedness of life and death. Throughout ancient Egyptian history, the Ankh was frequently depicted in tomb paintings and inscriptions, carried by numerous Egyptian gods and goddesses. It was also worn by the Egyptians as an amulet, believed to provide protection and guidance on their journey through life and into the afterlife. The Ankh, often seen alongside the djed and was symbols, formed a significant part of the visual iconography of ancient Egypt. The Ankh Cross Pendant beautifully captures the essence of this ancient symbol. Crafted in silver, it pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. Its design exudes elegance and simplicity, allowing the timeless symbolism of the Ankh to take center stage. Wearing this pendant connects you to the enduring wisdom of the ancient Egyptians, reminding you of the preciousness of life and the eternal journey of the soul. Embrace the profound symbolism of the Ankh with this extraordinary pendant, and let it become a cherished symbol of life, vitality, and the spiritual connection to the ancient world of Egypt.

Djed

The djed is an ancient Egyptian symbol for stability which features prominently in Egyptian art and architecture throughout the country's history. `Stability' should be understood to mean not only a firm footing but immutability and permanance. The symbol is a column with a broad base which narrows as it rises to a capital and is crossed by four parallel lines. The column and the lines are sometimes brightly painted and other times monochrome. The djed first appears in the Predynastic Period in Egypt (c. 6000-3150 BCE) and continues through the Ptolemaic Dynasty (323-30 BCE), the last dynasty to rule Egypt before it became a province of the Roman Empire.
