EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art, the "Pinax decorated with Sphinx with double Egyptian crown protecting the Tree of Life". Dating back to the 5th century BC and originating from the Necropolis of Puig des Molins in Ibiza, Spain, this Phoenician creation is now housed at the Museo Arqueologico Nacional in Madrid. The pinax itself is a terracotta object crafted in Punic style, representing a votive tablet. It features an intricately designed sphinx adorned with a double Egyptian crown as it guards over the mythical Tree of Life. The sculpture's low relief technique brings depth and dimension to its form, showcasing skilled craftsmanship. This artwork not only reflects Phoenician civilization but also highlights their cultural exchange and influence from Egypt. The fusion of these two ancient cultures creates a unique visual narrative that speaks to their interconnectedness and shared mythology. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the rich history and diverse population that once thrived on Ibiza. This Pinax serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to human creativity throughout antiquity. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate how art transcends time and borders while preserving our collective heritage for generations to come.
