EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Etruscan artifact from the 4th century BC. The terracotta askos, shaped in the form of a doe, measures 19 cm in length and is currently held in a private collection. Resting on an integral plinth with its legs tucked beneath its body, this exquisite piece features intricate black and white dots adorning its clay surface. The zoomorphic design beautifully captures the essence of a deer, with every detail meticulously crafted. The delicate handle adds to its functionality as a vessel while enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The spotted decoration further accentuates the wild animal's natural beauty, making it truly enchanting. As an ancient pottery artifact, this askos serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and creativity of the Etruscan civilization. Its ornate and decorative nature exemplifies their dedication to producing objects that were not only functional but also visually striking. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into history and invited to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship and artistic expression embodied within this unique piece.
