EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning bracelet adorned with intricately designed goat heads, dating back to the beginning of the 3rd century BC. Crafted by Greek artisans, this masterpiece is made of gold and features inserted stones that enhance its allure. Currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy, this artifact represents Magna Graecia (Great Greece) and exemplifies the exceptional artistry of ancient civilizations. The bracelet's hollow eyes were specifically created for inserting precious stones, adding an element of opulence to its already exquisite design. Acquired from Mottola in Italy on December 21st, 1936, this treasure provides a glimpse into the first decades of the 3rd century BC. Measuring at a height of 28 cm and boasting a diameter of 7.7 cm, this golden accessory speaks volumes about Greek craftsmanship during antiquity. The fusion technique used to create it involved melting gold ingots and utilizing double mould filigree and knurling methods. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every detail through her lens in this remarkable photograph. With its historical significance and undeniable beauty, this ancient Greek bracelet continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation.
