EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Fragmentary Head made of porphyry, created by the Byzantine civilization. Standing at a height of 21.5 cm, this remarkable piece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The head depicts a man wearing an exquisite diadem, symbolizing his status as an Augustus rather than a Caesar. However, time has taken its toll on this ancient artifact as it now stands fragmented and broken down its left side diagonally. Carved with utmost precision and skill, every detail on this stone head speaks volumes about the craftsmanship of the Byzantine era. The intricate crown adorning his head adds to the regal aura surrounding him. Porphyry, known for its deep purple hue and durability, was highly valued during ancient times due to its scarcity and association with royalty. This choice of material further emphasizes the importance and significance attached to this fragmentary head. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also the imperfections that have shaped history. It serves as a reminder that even fragments can hold immense historical value and offer us glimpses into civilizations long gone.
