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 sleeve, initially made of wood, has been meticulously adorned with gold and ivory, creating a stunning visual spectacle. This masterpiece can be found in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy. Belonging to Magna Graecia (Great Greece), this scepter is an epitome of ancient opulence and sophistication. The shaft, possibly crafted from perishable material like wood, is covered with a delicate golden lamina featuring intricate engravings and cuttings. Measuring 51x3.6 cm, it emanates an aura of grandeur that transports us back to a bygone era. Discovered in Canosa di Puglia's tomb of Gold, this artifact represents not only artistic mastery but also archaeological significance.

Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every nuance and detail through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate this extraordinary work up close.
