EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - the Scythian gold plaque from a shield or breastplate. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this exquisite artifact depicts a powerful panther, symbolizing strength and ferocity in warfare. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, with intricate details that bring the creature to life. The golden panther stands proudly on its hind legs, its body adorned with meticulously curled animals representing its paws and tail. The use of vibrant colors adds an enchanting touch to this masterpiece, making it even more visually striking. Housed in the prestigious Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia, this treasure offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Scythian culture. It serves as a testament to their advanced metalworking skills and their deep reverence for war and combat. As we admire this extraordinary object through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported back in time to an era where such artifacts were not only functional but also served as symbols of status and power. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind its creation and the historical significance it holds within our collective heritage.
