EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta statuette from the 6th century BC, depicting a woman playing the tambourine. Created by Carthaginian artists between the 7th and 3rd centuries BC, this piece is now housed in the Musee National de Carthage in Tunisia. The statuette stands at an impressive height of 34 cm and was discovered in the necropolis of Dhar El Morali, near Carthage. It offers us a glimpse into Punic art, showcasing the artistic prowess of the Carthaginian civilization. The woman depicted exudes grace and elegance as she engages with her musical instrument. Her skillful hands strike each beat on the tambourine with precision, creating rhythmic melodies that would have resonated through ancient North Africa. This artwork not only highlights leisurely pursuits but also emphasizes music's importance within African cultures during this period. The intricate carving on terracotta demonstrates both technical mastery and cultural significance. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this beautiful artifact through her lens, preserving its historical value for generations to come. Through her photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history – where music played an integral role in Tunisian society and beyond. As we admire this stunning image, let us appreciate both the craftsmanship of ancient civilizations and their enduring legacy that continues to inspire us today.
