EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1877, showcases a selection of the extraordinary Trojan antiquities discovered by the German archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, during his groundbreaking excavations at Hissarlik, on the plains of Troy. The artifacts, now on view at the South Kensington Museum in London, include a collection of gold headdresses and diadems (1, 2, 3), intricately designed gold earrings (4, 5, 6), a silver vase (7), a cup made of gold and silver (8), a gold bottle (9), and various other gold ornaments (16, 17). Additionally, there is a silver vase (11), a silver cup (12), a gold drinking-vessel (13), a copper key of a box containing the treasure (14), and silver pieces (15). These priceless finds, believed to be the treasure of Priam, the last king of Troy, were unearthed by Schliemann in the late 1860s and early 1870s, revolutionizing the field of archaeology and Greek studies. The exhibition of these artifacts at the South Kensington Museum marked a significant moment in the public's understanding and appreciation of the ancient world, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Troy and its people.
