EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent gold ring with lion protomes, dating back to the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The ring is a remarkable example of Greek art from Great Greece, specifically from Taranto in Apuglia, Italy. The intricate design features a spiral ring that culminates at both ends with exquisitely crafted lion protomes. Made using techniques such as moulding, filigree work, and engraving, this piece demonstrates the exceptional skill and craftsmanship of ancient Greek artisans. Measuring approximately 1.9 cm in diameter, this stunning artifact can be found at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto. It holds great historical significance as it was discovered in a tomb via Molise. The image captured by Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures every detail of this ancient treasure. The regal presence of the lions on either side adds an air of majesty to this already impressive piece. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the rich artistic heritage and cultural legacy left behind by our ancestors. This golden ring serves as a testament to their creativity and reverence for nature's most powerful creatures - truly an awe-inspiring relic from antiquity.
