EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent mirror from the tumulus na'4 of Kelermes, dating back to the 7th century BC. Crafted by the skilled hands of Scythian artisans, this exquisite piece is made of silver covered with gold, adding an aura of opulence and grandeur. Housed in the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this artifact offers a glimpse into the daily life and artistic prowess of the ancient Scythian civilization. With its intricate metalwork and meticulous handicraft, it stands as a testament to their advanced skills and creativity. As we admire this remarkable object through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back in time to an era where mirrors held great significance beyond mere reflection. In addition to being a practical tool for personal grooming and beauty enhancement, mirrors were also symbols of wealth and status. The mirror's presence within the tumulus suggests that it was not only cherished for its functionality but also revered as a valuable possession among Scythian society. Its shimmering surface would have been used by both men and women alike to perfect their appearance with utmost care and attention. Through archaeology's lens, we gain insight into how objects like these mirrored not only physical appearances but also cultural values such as coquetry and beauty standards prevalent during antiquity. This stunning photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind this ancient treasure while contemplating its historical significance within Russian history.
