Item no TM0368
Black wooden frame | clear glass
The Met x Eichholtz presents the Wall Art Inlay Menes, a set of two intricately framed panels inspired by ancient Egypt’s symbolic artistry and rich architectural legacy. These pieces celebrate the enduring legacy of Memphis, the kingdom’s first capital and spiritual heart.
Each artwork features a stylized scarab inlaid within a minimalist composition, set against a neutral background for maximum contrast and visual clarity. The result is an elegant wall accent that bridges antiquity and modern design.
HISTORIC PROVENANCE
These works are named after the pharaoh Menes, the founder of Memphis, the region in which the Museum’s scarab was found. Scarabs were revered symbols of rebirth and protection, frequently used in temple ornamentation and royal artifacts. This wall set honors that heritage through contemporary craftsmanship and timeless symbolism.
