EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Greek scepter from the end of the 3rd to the beginning of the 2nd century BC. The scepter, known as Scepter, features a sleeve initially made of wood and is now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy. Meticulously created with gold and ivory, this magnificent artifact reflects the artistic prowess of ancient Greece during its heyday. The shaft was delicately covered with a pierced golden lamina, adding an intricate touch to its design. Discovered in Canosa di Puglia within a tomb called "the Gold" this piece exemplifies Magna Graecia's rich cultural heritage. Measuring at an impressive 51x3.6 cm, Scepter exudes elegance and grandeur. Its detailed engravings and cuttings showcase both mastery and precision. A symbol of power and authority in ancient times, this scepter would have been wielded by individuals who held significant positions or were revered for their leadership. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every detail through her lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this remarkable artifact. This photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with archaeology and our desire to uncover stories from civilizations long past.
