EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the late 4th or 3rd century BC - the Double Jar with Central Handle. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Canosan Workshop, this terracotta masterpiece stands as a testament to ancient Italian artistry. Measuring at an impressive 21.6x29.5x15.2 cm, it now finds its home in the prestigious North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The intricate details on this vessel are truly awe-inspiring. Adorned with vibrant pigments and featuring a geometric pattern reminiscent of waves, it exudes both elegance and sophistication. The central handle adds a touch of practicality to its exquisite design. Upon closer inspection, one cannot help but notice the presence of fish motifs scattered across its surface - a nod to the abundant marine life that once thrived in South Italy during that era. These animal depictions bring an element of liveliness and connection to nature into this everyday household item. As we gaze upon this ancient relic, we are transported back in time to witness how our ancestors valued not only functionality but also aesthetics in their daily lives. This double jar serves as a reminder that even mundane objects can be transformed into works of art through skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. With each passing generation, this piece continues to inspire us with its timeless beauty and cultural significance – bridging the gap between past and present for all who have the privilege of beholding it at the North Carolina Museum of Art.
