EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable gold plaque from the 5th century BC, depicting a Scythian hunter in pursuit of a hare with his trusty javelin. The original masterpiece is housed within the esteemed Hermitage Museums collection in St Petersburg, Russia. However, this particular image captures an electrotype version found at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The intricate details of this ancient artifact come to life through its vibrant colors and expert craftsmanship. The golden hue gleams as it reflects light, emphasizing the skillful artistry that went into its creation. Mounted on horseback, the determined hunter epitomizes strength and agility as he engages in his noble quest. This photograph transports us back in time to an era where hunting played a vital role in survival and cultural identity. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of Scythian people who roamed these lands centuries ago – their connection with nature, their reliance on horses for transportation and warfare, and their mastery of weaponry. As we admire this extraordinary piece of history captured by CM Dixon's lens at the Museum of Ornamental Art within Victoria & Albert Museum's vast collection, we can't help but marvel at how such objects connect us to our past. They remind us that even though time may pass swiftly, artifacts like these endure as tangible links between generations - bridging gaps between ancient civilizations and contemporary societies alike.
