EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning collection of jewellery from the Camon region in Amiens, Somme, dating back to the Carolingian era between the 7th and 10th centuries. The intricate pieces are crafted from silver and gilded bronze by the skilled artisans of the Carolingian School. The Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford proudly displays this remarkable treasure, offering us a glimpse into history. Amongst these precious items is a belt fitting made of gilded bronze, exuding opulence and elegance. Additionally, a pair of silver fibulae catches our attention with their delicate craftsmanship. These jewels were not merely decorative but held significant meaning as they were discovered in gravesites, suggesting that they served as funerary adornments for individuals laid to rest during that time period. Each piece tells its own story, reflecting both personal style and cultural traditions. The photograph captures every exquisite detail - from intricately designed earrings to an array of brooches and rings - allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind each creation. This image serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we have access to this extraordinary snapshot of ancient French jewellery. It reminds us how even after centuries have passed, beauty endures through these timeless treasures.
