EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the toiletries used by the Barbarian civilization during the 5th to 8th century. The image features a delicate hair comb and scissors, meticulously crafted with intricate details that reflect both their functionality and beauty. These objects provide us with a glimpse into the daily lives of our ancestors, revealing their commitment to personal hygiene and self-care even in an age often associated with savagery. The comb's fine teeth suggest its use for grooming and styling hair, while the scissors' sharp blades hint at their role in trimming unruly locks. The Merovingian School's craftsmanship is evident in these artifacts, as they exhibit exquisite handles adorned with ornate designs. It is fascinating to imagine how these tools were cherished possessions passed down through generations or perhaps treasured gifts exchanged between loved ones. As we admire this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder that even amidst turbulent times, individuals sought ways to enhance their appearance and maintain cleanliness. These toiletries not only served practical purposes but also symbolized an appreciation for beauty and coquetry within Barbarian society. Displayed at Musee Archeologique in Strasbourg, France, this photograph invites us to contemplate our shared human experiences across time. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back centuries ago when these everyday objects held great significance in shaping one's identity during the Middle Ages.
