EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Disk Brooch, Frankish, dating back to the first half of the 7th century. Crafted by an unknown creator, this brooch is a testament to the artistic prowess and intricate craftsmanship of its time. The circular shape of this brooch is adorned with stunning filigree work in gold metal, accentuated by vibrant green and blue glass gemstones. The combination of colors creates a mesmerizing visual effect that adds depth and allure to this ancient artifact. Originating from France, then known as Frankish territory, this brooch reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Germanic tribe it belonged to. It serves as a tangible link to their fashion sensibilities during the Middle Ages. Now housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this jewel has found its rightful place among other priceless artifacts from various periods in history. Its presence in such esteemed surroundings further emphasizes its significance and value as both an artwork and historical relic. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time - imagining how it once graced elegant dresses or tunics worn by individuals who lived centuries ago. This image invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also ponder on our shared human legacy through artistry across different eras.
