EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the Spherical Pyxis and Lid, originating from Greece's Cyclades region in Europe. Dating back to an astonishing period between 2700 and 2200 B. C. , this marble object is truly a testament to the ancient craftsmanship of its creators. The Spherical Pyxis and Lid exhibit exquisite attention to detail, with its spherical shape standing at a height of 7.6 cm and a body diameter of 11.7 cm (3 x 4 5/8 in. ). The accompanying lid measures approximately 6.4 cm (2 1/2 in. ) in diameter. What makes this piece particularly intriguing is its unique design. The smoothness of the marble surface combined with the perfect symmetry creates an aesthetically pleasing visual appeal that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years, imagining how this pyxis might have been used by its ancient owners - perhaps it held precious treasures or served as a container for sacred offerings. The significance behind this artifact lies not only in its historical value but also in our ability to appreciate the ingenuity and artistry that existed during such early civilizations. This print serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, human creativity continues to inspire awe and admiration across generations.
