EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Middle Neolithic period, known as the "Pierced shell used as a whistle". Discovered in the Cavern of the White Sands (Arene Candide) in Liguria, Italy, this ancient treasure offers us a glimpse into prehistoric life. The delicate shell belongs to Triton nodifer and has been expertly pierced to create a functional whistle. This ingenious creation demonstrates the resourcefulness and creativity of our Stone Age ancestors. It is believed that this unique instrument was used for various purposes, such as communication or ceremonial rituals. Preserved within the Museo Civico Di Archeologia Ligure in Genoa Pegli, Italy, this artifact holds immense historical significance. Its discovery at Arene Candide's Necropolis further adds to its archaeological value. The Middle Neolithic era marked an important phase in human development when communities began settling down and engaging in agriculture. Photographed by Luisa Ricciarini, this image captures every intricate detail of the shell whistle with precision and clarity. Through her lens, we can appreciate not only its functionality but also its aesthetic beauty. As we marvel at this extraordinary relic from our past, let it serve as a reminder of humanity's ingenuity throughout history. The Pierced shell used as a whistle symbolizes our innate desire for self-expression and connection with others across time and space.
