1. Title: "Carthaginian Bronze Duck-Shaped Cutthroat Razor: A Unique Artifact from Ibiza, Spain" 2.. This photograph features a remarkable Carthaginian bronze cutthroat razor, intricately crafted in the shape of a duck. Dated back to the 6th century BCE, this artifact was discovered during archaeological excavations at Puig des Molins in Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain. The National Archaeological Museum in Madrid now houses this precious piece of European history. 3. Background: The Carthaginians, an ancient civilization originating from the Phoenician city of Carthage in North Africa, were known for their advanced metalworking skills. They colonized the Balearic Islands around 654 BCE and established a thriving settlement on Ibiza. Puig des Molins, an archaeological site located in the northeastern part of the island, has yielded numerous Carthaginian artifacts, including this unique bronze duck-shaped cutthroat razor. 4. Description: The razor, standing upright with its head held high, showcases the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Carthaginian art. The duck's body is adorned with intricate engravings, while its wings are spread wide, giving an impression of flight. The razor's sharp edge, once used for shaving or cutting, is still visible, highlighting the functional aspect of this seemingly ornate piece. 5. Significance: The discovery of this bronze duck-shaped cutthroat razor provides valuable insights into the daily life, artistic traditions, and cultural influences of the Carthaginians in the western Mediterranean. It is a testament to their skill in metalworking and their ability to blend functionality with aesthetics. This unique artifact continues to intrigue scholars and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the ancient world.
