EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of an Ivory Casket representing the presentation of a youth, which is currently preserved in the Civic Museum of Pola in Croatia. The object itself dates back to the period of Italy's reign in Istria and belongs to the early Christian art from Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Photographed around 1938, this artwork showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. Made from ivory, it features various elements that contribute to its symbolic significance. The casket depicts a lamb, symbolizing purity and innocence, while an abstract representation of an arcade adds depth and architectural charm. The presence of a cross further emphasizes its religious context within Christianity. Additionally, female and male figures dressed in traditional costumes are seen engaging in a presentation or physical rapport scene inside a tent-like structure. This portrayal reflects societal dynamics prevalent during that era. The photograph was captured by Alinari, Fratelli - renowned for their exceptional documentation of historical artifacts. Their expertise shines through as they skillfully capture every nuance and texture present on this remarkable piece. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into early Christian art history in Europe. It provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate the artistic genius behind such masterpieces while shedding light on cultural influences during Italy's reign over Istria.
