EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of earrings adorned with intricate floral and avian designs. Dating back to the end of the 2nd century BC and the beginning of the 1st century BC, these Greek-made earrings are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient times. The Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy proudly houses this remarkable piece. The earrings feature delicate goldwork combined with glass paste and enamel, creating a harmonious blend of materials. The design includes flowers and birds, symbolizing nature's beauty and freedom. Measuring between 3.1-3.3 cm in size, they were likely worn by an elegant woman who appreciated both artistry and fashion. These earrings offer us a glimpse into Magna Graecia (Great Greece), where Greek culture flourished outside mainland Greece itself. They exemplify the artistic prowess that characterized this period in history. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured every detail of these precious artifacts through her photography skills. Her work allows us to appreciate not only their aesthetic appeal but also their historical significance. This print serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, art continues to inspire awe and admiration for its timeless beauty.
