EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary artifact from the 13th century BC - an anthropoid baked clay coffin discovered in Amman, Jordan. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are truly remarkable. Each coffin was designed to hold not just one, but two or more skeletons, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue to its purpose. The male figure depicted on the coffin's surface is both haunting and mesmerizing. His face, carefully sculpted with precision, evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence for the deceased. Against a black background in this studio shot, the clay coffin stands out vividly with its rich coloration. As we gaze upon this ancient object, we are transported back in time to an era where death held great significance within society. This artifact serves as a tangible link between past and present; it reminds us of our mortality while also highlighting the importance placed on honoring those who have passed away. The image captured by CM Dixon beautifully captures the essence of this anthropoid baked clay coffin - an emblematic symbol that transcends time itself. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality and contemplate how different cultures throughout history have approached death as both a concept and a reality.
