EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Paleochretian Art found in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The artwork, dating back to the 6th or 7th century AD, is a ceramic and terracotta eulogy bulb with foot. The focal point of this intricate creation is the face of Saint Thecle, a virgin and martyr from the 1st century. Positioned between two fierce beasts, she exudes an aura of strength and devotion. This depiction symbolizes her unwavering faith even in the face of danger. The delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this artwork. Standing at just 0.27 meters tall, it impresses with its intricately carved features and expertly applied glazes. As we delve into its historical significance, we are transported back to a time when Christianity was still emerging as a prominent religion within the Roman Empire. This artifact serves as a testament to the early Christian beliefs that were deeply rooted during that era. Through this photograph by Josse, we have been granted access to admire and appreciate this precious relic from centuries past. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to reflect on the enduring power of faith throughout history.
