EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - a red ochre glass vessel adorned with intricate geometric patterns. Dating back to the Middle Neolithic period (4300-3980 BC), this exquisite jar was discovered in the Bat Cave of Zuheros, Cordoba, Spain. Its distinctive globular shape features a convex base and straight edges, while its smooth walls and handles reflect the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. The vibrant red color is achieved through the application of a red slip made from iron oxide, giving it an alluring visual appeal. The incised parallel lines form mesmerizing geometric designs that add depth and complexity to this archaeological treasure. This artifact provides valuable insights into the domestic life and culture of early societies during this era. Stored in an archaeological and ethnological museum, this jar represents more than just a luxury item; it symbolizes the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors who thrived on agriculture and livestock farming. It serves as a tangible link to our prehistoric past, reminding us of their sedentary lifestyle and their deep connection with nature. Photographed by Santiago Ortega, this image captures every detail of this extraordinary object - from its delicate contours to its rich coloration. It invites viewers on a journey through time, offering glimpses into an ancient world where pottery played an essential role in everyday life.
