EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pendant decoration by a small amphora, dating back to 125-100 BC. Crafted with exquisite detail, this piece of ancient Greek art is made from gold and enamel. It can be found in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy. The pendant features an Amphoriskos design and is accompanied by a delicate chain. The intricate craftsmanship includes knurling filigree, enamel applications, and engravings. Adorned with garnet accents, this stunning piece exemplifies the beauty and skill of ancient Greek jewelry-making. Discovered in Altamura (BA) via Genova tomb as part of Magna Graecia (Great Greece), this artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region. Measuring approximately 3.7 cm in height and 1 cm in diameter, it is truly a testament to the artistic prowess of its creators. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every intricate detail through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate the fine workmanship up close. This photograph not only preserves an important archaeological find but also serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of ancient civilizations. As we admire this remarkable pendant decoration today, we are transported back in time to experience the elegance and sophistication that characterized ancient Greek culture.
