EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the "Skull from Jericho, modelled with plaster and shells". The skull, believed to have been kept in homes for ancestor-worship purposes, is an intriguing testament to ancient rituals and beliefs. The meticulous craftsmanship of this piece is evident in the delicate application of plaster and seashells that adorn its surface. Each shell seems carefully chosen, representing aquatic life and adding a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise stark black background. The combination of these elements creates a striking contrast that draws viewers into contemplation. Housed within the esteemed British Museum's collection, this artifact serves as a tangible link to Israel's rich cultural heritage. Its presence evokes curiosity about life in ancient Jericho and invites us to explore our ancestors' spiritual practices. Photographed against a studio backdrop by CM Dixon, this image captures every intricate detail with precision. The skillful lighting highlights both the texture of the plastered skull and the vibrant colors of the seashells. As we gaze upon this extraordinary object through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported back in time - witnessing centuries-old traditions come alive before our eyes. This photograph not only preserves history but also sparks our imagination while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with honoring those who came before us through ancestor worship.
