EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient craftsmanship - the Disk Brooch with Cameo. Combining Langobardic and Roman influences, this artifact dates back to the 7th century, making it a true treasure from the Middle Ages. The brooch features an intricately designed mount made of sheet gold, adorned with delicate wires that enhance its beauty. At the center of this exquisite brooch lies a Roman cameo, believed to be created between 100-300 AD. The cameo itself is crafted from onyx, showcasing a stunning color contrast against the golden backdrop. Its smooth surface and detailed carving depict an unknown figure or scene from antiquity. Every aspect of this jewel exudes elegance and sophistication. From the meticulous metalwork to the use of gemstones and glass, every detail has been carefully considered by its anonymous creator. This Italian masterpiece now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, serving as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. As we gaze upon this close-up image, we are transported back in time - marveling at how such intricate decorative arts were achieved centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that our heritage is rich with artistic achievements that continue to inspire us today.
