EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Hallstatt Period necklace made of amber, now housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The necklace, dating back to the Early Iron Age (c. 700 - c. 450 BC), measures an impressive length of 40 cm and offers a glimpse into the rich history of Central Europe. Crafted by Iron Age artisans, this exquisite piece features a string of 26 amber beads meticulously strung symmetrically. Among them are four disc-shaped beads perforated horizontally, eighteen tubular or flattened tubular beads, and four depressed globular beads. Each bead is carefully chosen and arranged to create an aesthetically pleasing design that reflects the artistic sensibilities prevalent during that era. Amber holds immense significance in ancient cultures due to its natural beauty and rarity. This necklace not only serves as a stunning adornment but also represents the craftsmanship and ingenuity of our ancestors from centuries ago. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of European antiquity. It reminds us that jewelry has always been more than mere decoration; it is an expression of culture, identity, and human creativity throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for capturing this timeless treasure with such precision and allowing us to appreciate its historical value beyond borders and generations.
