EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite urn adorned with intricate engravings, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Italy's Iron Age. The urn, hailing from the Golasecca culture and originating from the Cava Frangi in the necropolis of Ca Morta near Como, is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. Dating back to the 7th century BC, this remarkable pottery piece stands as a remarkable example of funerary art during prehistoric times. Its vertical structure commands attention while its grey background accentuates every delicate detail etched onto its surface. The engravings on this ancient artifact tell stories untold, whispering secrets from centuries past. As we admire each stroke and curve meticulously carved into its form, we are transported back to an era long gone yet forever preserved within this single object. In this studio shot devoid of people, our focus remains solely on this extraordinary relic that has withstood the test of time. It serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' reverence for their departed loved ones and their dedication to creating enduring works of beauty even in times marked by sorrow. As we contemplate upon this urn decorated with engravings, we are reminded not only of Italy's vibrant cultural heritage but also our own connection to those who came before us. This photograph captures more than just an antiquity; it encapsulates a profound sense of human history that continues to shape our present-day existence.
