EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cylindrical bead with mesmerizing swirl patterns, crafted between the years 1300 and 1500. Made from obsidian, a volcanic glass known for its lustrous black color, this exquisite piece is attributed to the Mixtec civilization that thrived from 900 to 1519. Measuring at approximately 2.54 centimeters in length, this ancient artifact now resides in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. It represents the Late Postclassic period of Mixtec history and serves as a testament to their remarkable craftsmanship. The bead's intricate swirl patterns are a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. Its rich colors add depth and allure to this small but significant object from South America's past. Displayed without any human presence or interference, this photograph allows us to focus solely on the beauty and historical significance of this jewel-like stone. It transports us back in time, offering glimpses into an era long gone but not forgotten. Generously given in memory of Jerry L. Abramson by his estate, this precious artifact continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As we admire it today, we pay homage not only to its creators but also to those who have preserved it for future generations' appreciation.
