EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of disc earrings with conical pendants, dating back to the end of the 4th century and beginning of the 3rd century BC. Crafted from gold using intricate techniques such as moulding, filigree, and knurling, these earrings are a testament to the exceptional artistry of ancient Greek jewelry. The photograph captures every exquisite detail of these earrings, highlighting their delicate design and fine craftsmanship. The discs feature an elegant pattern that adds depth and texture to the overall composition. Hanging from each disc is a conical pendant that further enhances their beauty. These remarkable artifacts were discovered in Ginosa, Italy, within the Chiaradonna district's Girifalco Tomb. They now reside in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia. Measuring at approximately 6.7 cm in height, they serve as a tangible link to Magna Graecia or Great Greece – an era when Greek culture flourished throughout southern Italy. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this image with great attention to detail and lighting. Her expertise allows viewers to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic value of these ancient treasures. This print serves as a reminder of our rich archaeological heritage and invites us to marvel at the timeless beauty created by skilled artisans centuries ago.
