EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a profile of a man's mask from the Tophet of Mozia, dating back to the 6th century BC. Crafted in terracotta by Carthaginian artists during the period between the 7th and 3rd centuries BC, this artifact is now housed in the Musee du Bardo in Tunis, Tunisia. The mask exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it offers a glimpse into the ancient Carthaginian or Punic civilization. With its carved features depicting a grinning face, it captures both artistry and humanity in one striking image. The Sicilian influence is evident through its connection to Motya (Mozzia or Motia), an island located off the coast of Sicily. As we gaze upon this relic from antiquity, we can't help but feel joy emanating from its expression. It seems to laugh with us across time, reminding us that laughter transcends generations and cultures. This carving serves as a testament to the rich history and vibrant population that once thrived in Carthage. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this piece of art with her lens, preserving its beauty for all to admire. Through her photography, she invites us into a world long gone but still alive within these intricate details. Let this photograph transport you back thousands of years ago when civilizations flourished and masks like these were revered symbols of culture and identity.
