EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Neolithic quern used for grinding corn. Discovered at the Lemea Neolithic settlement near Paphos on Cyprus, this ancient kitchenware provides us with a glimpse into prehistoric times. The vibrant colors in the image bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Cyprus. The quern, accompanied by its pestle and mortar, stands as a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our ancestors. Crafted from stone, it served as an essential tool for early civilizations in their quest to process grains and produce flour. Its presence at the archaeological site highlights the importance of food preparation in Neolithic society. Photographed by CM Dixon, this image captures every intricate detail of this historical artifact. The renowned photographer's expertise is evident in his ability to convey not only the physical attributes but also the significance behind such objects. As we admire this photograph, let us reflect upon how far we have come since those ancient times. Our modern kitchenware may be vastly different from these primitive tools, but they remind us that our daily rituals are deeply rooted in our shared human history. This print serves as a reminder that even mundane objects can hold great value when seen through the lens of time and culture.
