EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary artifact from ancient times - the Anthropoid sarcophagus. Created between the 12th and 11th centuries BC, this terracotta masterpiece is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Phoenician artists. The sarcophagus was discovered in Beit She'an and now resides in the prestigious Rockefeller Collection in New York, USA. The intricate carvings on this burial vessel depict a mesmerizing relief of a human face, adorned with delicate details such as ears and arms. Its middle eastern origins are evident through its distinct style and cultural influences. Crafted from clay, this artifact serves as a poignant reminder of ancient burial practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when art served not only as decoration but also held deep spiritual significance. The Anthropoid sarcophagus stands as both an archaeological treasure and a symbol of reverence for those who have passed on. Thanks to eZev Radovan's expert photography skills, every minute detail is captured flawlessly in this image. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an opportunity to appreciate history through their vast collection of fine art prints.
