EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a terracotta sculpture of a woman's head, dating back to the 6th century BC. Created by an anonymous Carthaginian artist during the flourishing period of the Carthaginian civilization (7th-3rd century BC), this artwork is now housed in the Musee National de Carthage in Tunisia. The delicate craftsmanship and intricate details of this piece reflect the artistic prowess of its creator. The woman's face, carved with precision and finesse, exudes a sense of serenity and grace. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that once thrived in ancient North Africa. Discovered in the necropolis of Douimes within the park of thermal baths dedicated to Antoninus Pius in Carthage, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of those who inhabited these lands centuries ago. Its preservation at the National Museum allows visitors to connect with history on a profound level. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures not only the beauty but also the essence behind this remarkable piece through her photography. Her lens brings forth every curve and contour, emphasizing both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. As we admire this image, let us appreciate how art has transcended time, bridging civilizations across continents. May it serve as a reminder that our shared human experiences are woven together through creativity and expression.
