EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and formidable umbos of iron shields dating back to the 3rd century BC. Created by the Celts, these remarkable pieces of Celtic art are on display at the Musee Municipal Antoine Vivenel in Compiegne, France. The photograph captures their raw beauty and historical significance. These umbos were discovered at the sanctuary of Gournay-sur-Aronde (Gournay sur Aronde) in Oise, France. They offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Gaulish tribes during this ancient period. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these iron shields served as essential armaments for warriors who relied on them for protection during battles. The photographer, Luisa Ricciarini, has skillfully captured both the artistic essence and archaeological importance of these artifacts. Through her lens, we can appreciate not only their craftsmanship but also gain insight into the lives and traditions of people from antiquity. As we admire this image, let us marvel at how history unfolds before our eyes through objects that have stood the test of time. These umbos remind us that even centuries later, art continues to transcend boundaries and connect us with our ancestors' stories.
