EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning gold cup with handles adorned by small sphinxes, originating from the Bernardini tomb of Palestrina in 675-650 BC. This masterpiece belongs to the Etruscan civilization and is currently housed at Villa Giulia in Rome, Italy. The intricate craftsmanship of this ancient artifact reflects the artistic prowess of the Etruscans. The delicate details on the cup's surface depict mythical creatures known as sphinxes, which were often associated with wisdom and mystery in ancient mythology. The golden hue adds an air of opulence and grandeur to this remarkable piece. Measuring approximately 7.8 cm in height and 8.5 cm in diameter, this gold cup is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Etruscan art. Its discovery within the princely grave known as Bernardini at Preneste (Palestrina) further enhances its historical significance. Preserved within the Archaeological Museum of Villa Giulia, this treasure offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a tangible link connecting us to our ancestors' creativity and imagination. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every exquisite detail through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty and historical value encapsulated within this extraordinary work of art from antiquity.
