EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable stone bull's head, discovered in the ancient city of Knossos, Crete. Dating back to 1600-1450 BC during the Minoan civilization, this exquisite artifact now resides in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and contour of this magnificent sculpture. Used as a libation vessel, known as a rhyton, it served an important ceremonial purpose within Minoan culture. As we gaze upon this piece of art from antiquity, we are transported back in time to an era when Greece was flourishing with cultural richness and artistic brilliance. The bull symbolizes strength and power - qualities highly revered by the Minoans. The image captures not only the beauty of the sculpture but also its historical significance. It reminds us of our connection to ancient civilizations and their enduring legacy that continues to inspire us today. Through this photograph, photographer Frank Buffetrille has preserved a moment frozen in time - allowing us to appreciate the mastery behind each stroke that shaped this stone masterpiece. Let us marvel at its grandeur and pay homage to those who came before us, leaving behind such extraordinary works of art for future generations to admire.
