EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta statuette of a man in the shape of a bell, dating back to the 7th or 6th century BC. Created by Carthaginian artisans from the ancient Punic civilization, this exquisite piece is now housed in the Musee National de Carthage in Carthage, Tunisia. Measuring at just 12 cm tall, this statuette was discovered within the Tophet of Carthage or Salammbo, which was dedicated to the revered divinities Tanit and Baal. Its intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect both the artistic prowess and religious significance of its creators. The image captures not only the beauty of this artifact but also provides insight into African art history. With its origins rooted in North Africa's rich cultural heritage, it serves as a testament to the skilled carvers who inhabited ancient Carthage. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully photographed this piece with an eye for capturing its essence. The play between light and shadow highlights every curve and contour of this delicate sculpture. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand an extraordinary relic from one of Africa's most influential civilizations. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into African antiquity while celebrating both human creativity and historical preservation. It reminds us that art has always been an essential part of our shared human experience across continents and centuries.
