EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Saddle quern with grinding stone, discovered at a farm in Mingies Ditch, Oxfordshire. Dating back to the Iron Age, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into the ancient agricultural practices of the region. The image captures the intricate details of the saddle quern and its accompanying grinding stone. The quern itself is made from stone and features a curved shape that fits perfectly within its base. This design allowed farmers to grind various grains such as wheat and corn into flour for baking bread or making other food products. The grinding stone, positioned on top of the quern, is used to crush and pulverize the grains through circular motions. Its rough surface ensures efficient grain processing while preserving their nutritional value. This photograph not only highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating these tools but also sheds light on how our ancestors relied on manual labor to sustain themselves. It serves as a reminder of our connection to those who came before us and their ingenuity in utilizing natural resources for survival. Displayed by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, this print offers an opportunity for viewers to appreciate both historical artifacts and artistic photography simultaneously. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves witnessing daily life on an Iron Age farm in Oxfordshire centuries ago.
