EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent ring with a revolving stone, dating back to the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 2nd century BC. Crafted by Greek artisans, this exquisite piece is currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy. The ring is made from gold and features a stunning whitish pink agate stone. What makes this ring truly unique is its ability to rotate, adding an element of surprise and intrigue. The intricate engravings on both the band and the stone demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Measuring at approximately 1.6 cm in diameter for the ring itself, with a stone size of 1x0.6 cm, this ancient artifact reflects the artistry and skill prevalent during Magna Graecia (Great Greece). It was discovered in Sardegna tomb 1 before finding its way to Taranto. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every aspect of this remarkable piece through her lens. Her photograph allows us to appreciate not only its beauty but also its historical significance as it represents an era long gone. This image serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations and their artistic achievements. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, these artifacts continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for human creativity throughout history.
