EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Roman civilization - a cinerary urn adorned with intricate relief decoration depicting the Eleusinian Mysteries. The urn, discovered at the terme di Diocleziano (Baths of Diocletian) in Italy, stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of ancient Rome. Against a striking black background, this studio shot captures every detail of this exquisite piece of funerary art. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, with its classical style and meticulous attention to detail evident in every curve and contour. Both male and female likenesses are depicted on the urn, symbolizing the diverse participants in these mysterious rituals. The Eleusinian Mysteries were an important cultic tradition in ancient Greece and later adopted by Romans. These secretive ceremonies celebrated Demeter, goddess of agriculture, fertility, and sacred law. Participants believed that through initiation into these mysteries they would gain insight into life after death. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to ancient Rome - a time when religion played an integral role in society's fabric. This image serves as a window into their beliefs and practices while also reminding us of our shared human history
