EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the vibrant and culturally rich land of Eritrea. The focal point of the image is a beautifully crafted lyre, showcasing the immense talent and artistry of the African School. Made from wood, beadwork, and leather, this musical instrument represents not only a means of producing melodious tunes but also serves as a testament to the deep-rooted traditions and heritage of North Africa. The intricate beadwork adorning the lyre adds an element of exquisite beauty, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail that went into its creation. Each tiny bead tells a story - stories that have been passed down through generations, preserving ancient customs and narratives. This photograph was taken by Heini Schneebeli at London's renowned Horniman Museum. Through his lens, he captures not just an object but also its essence - capturing both its physical form and intangible cultural significance. As we gaze upon this striking image captured by Bridgeman Images' talented photographers, we are reminded of how art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and space. It allows us to connect with different cultures across continents in profound ways.
