EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Roman tripod, lamp, perfume box and mystical basket" takes us on a journey back to ancient Rome. The print showcases four exquisite objects that were an integral part of Roman life in the early 19th century. In the foreground, we see a portable metal tripod from Naples, symbolizing stability and balance. Next to it stands a metal lamp found in Casa Oddi, Perugia, casting its warm glow on the scene. A beautifully decorated perfume box for sacrifices is displayed with intricate carvings of chimera on its surface. The centerpiece of this composition is the casta mistica or mystical basket adorned with a snake. This intriguing object was used by Priestesses of Bacchus during their rituals and adds an air of mysticism to the image. Created by Italian artist Lorenzo Roccheggiani in 1802 as part of his series "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military" this engraving captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of these artifacts from ancient Rome. Through this artwork, we are transported into a world where everyday objects held deep cultural meaning. It serves as a reminder that even mundane items can tell stories about our past civilizations.
