EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Romano-British pottery head discovered in Micklegate, York. The intricate details of this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. The head features two rows of meticulously crafted curls, giving us a glimpse into the hairstyling trends of that era. Above the curls, remnants of a delicate headdress can still be seen, hinting at the significance and religious context in which similar metal heads have been found across Britain. Housed within the esteemed collection of the York Archaeological Society Museums, this pottery head stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Yorkshire county. Its vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise silent past, allowing us to connect with our ancestors on a profound level. The craftsmanship exhibited in this lady's portrait is nothing short of extraordinary. Every curve and contour has been carefully molded by skilled hands from centuries ago. As we gaze upon her serene expression and perfectly styled hairdo, we cannot help but marvel at how timeless beauty truly is. Thanks to AccuSoft Inc. , who preserved this image for posterity between 1996-98, we are able to appreciate and study this invaluable piece of history today. Let it serve as a reminder that our roots run deep and that every object holds within it stories waiting to be unveiled by those willing to listen.
