EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Japanese art - the Magatama pendant from the Yayoi period. Dating back to the 4th Century B. C. -3rd Century A. D. , this exquisite curved bead pendant is now housed in Rome's Museo Nazionale d'arte Orientale, part of their National Collection of Oriental Art. The image beautifully captures the delicate glass craftsmanship and intricate design of this historical artifact. Against a clean white background, it stands as a testament to human innovation and creativity throughout history. The connection between past and present becomes palpable as we observe this tube-like pendant, reminiscent of an electrode or even an early experiment in electric light. The photograph transports us back to 1857 when Heinrich Geissler first introduced his geissler tube, revolutionizing physics and paving the way for future inventions. This single object represents not only its own rich history but also serves as a symbol for progress and discovery within the scientific community. Although devoid of people, this studio shot speaks volumes about our fascination with uncovering secrets from centuries ago. It invites us to contemplate how far we have come while acknowledging that there is still much more to learn from our ancestors' ingenuity. Dave King's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of this magatama pendant, reminding us that art can transcend time itself.
