EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Cypriot Barrel jug from the 7th-6th century, depicting an exquisite display of birds and deer. Crafted with delicate precision, this ceramic masterpiece is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The intricate details on this ancient artifact transport us back to a time when artistry was celebrated through pottery. The orientalizing style evident in its design reflects influences from Eastern cultures, adding to its allure and historical significance. The handle of the jar provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal, allowing for easy pouring while also serving as a decorative element. Its prehistoric origins make it even more intriguing, reminding us of our connection to our ancestors who once used vessels like these for various purposes. Oil was likely stored within this vessel, making it an essential tool for daily life during that era. The presence of animals such as birds and deer adds a touch of nature's beauty to this piece, showcasing the artist's ability to capture their grace and elegance through clay. As we admire this remarkable work of art captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate not only its visual splendor but also the rich history it represents. This photograph serves as a window into another time - one where creativity flourished and craftsmanship thrived.
