EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the Chimu culture - a copper mask that exudes an air of mystery and ancient wisdom. The mask, made of copper alloy, was specifically designed to be attached to a mummy bundle, serving as both protection and adornment for the deceased. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this anthropomorphic creation. The face depicted on the mask carries an enigmatic expression, inviting us to contemplate its significance within Chimu beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. Its piercing eyes seem to hold secrets untold, while its coloration adds depth and character to this extraordinary piece. Photographed in a studio against a pristine white background, the image allows us to focus solely on the beauty and complexity of this historical object. Displayed at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, it serves as a tangible link between our modern world and an ancient civilization that once thrived. As we observe this artifact created by skilled hands centuries ago, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with those who came before us. This photograph captures not only the physicality of the mask but also evokes emotions tied to concepts such as life's impermanence and humanity's eternal quest for understanding. In essence, CM Dixon skillfully immortalizes this mesmerizing relic through his lens, preserving its cultural significance for generations to come.
