Amphora Basket Receptacle Ethnography And Folklore

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "AVQ-A-000216-0061" captured by the talented photographer Cantarella A. in 1902, we are transported back in time to the vibrant streets of Naples. The image showcases a young woman adorned in traditional Neapolitan attire, her striking presence enhanced by the unique object she carries upon her head - a basket. The woman's portrait exudes both grace and strength as she gazes confidently into the camera lens. Her elaborate costume reflects the rich cultural heritage of Naples, serving as a visual representation of its anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. It is through these costumes that we gain insight into the customs and traditions that have shaped this historic city. However, it is not just the woman herself that draws our attention; it is also the fascinating object balanced atop her head - an amphora-shaped basket. This receptacle adds an intriguing element to the photograph, leaving us wondering about its purpose and significance within Neapolitan culture. Cantarella A. 's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this young woman but also invites us to delve deeper into understanding Naples' rich history and cultural tapestry. Through his lens, he captures a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates both tradition and individuality. As we admire this remarkable print from Alinari's collection, let us be reminded of how art has always been intertwined with storytelling. It serves as a window into different eras and cultures while igniting our curiosity for exploration beyond what meets the eye.
