EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of history, the Phalera (gold). Created by an Italian School in the 15th century, this embossed silver phalera is an ornamental disk that was used to adorn horse gear. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and design on this magnificent artifact. Currently housed at the Museo Archeologico di Castrovillari in Italy, this Phalera (gold) holds a significant place in equine culture. It represents not only a decorative element but also symbolizes status and prestige. Coats of arms were often adorned with such phalerae, adding elegance and sophistication to any equestrian ensemble. The photograph, skillfully captured by Giuliano Valsecchi, beautifully captures the essence of this gold disk. The play of light on its surface accentuates the delicate patterns carved into it, showcasing its ornate beauty. This image transports us back in time when horses played a vital role as trusted companions and powerful symbols. As we admire this remarkable work of art through Valsecchi's lens, we can't help but appreciate the rich history behind it. From its use as decoration for horses to becoming an emblematic representation of wealth and nobility – each aspect adds depth to our understanding of ancient cultures' appreciation for beauty and craftsmanship.
