EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a chilling detail of a Punic stele from the Tophet of Salammbo, dating back to the 4th century BC. The image depicts a high priest holding the arm of a child, symbolizing an intended sacrifice in the Carthaginian civilization. The stele represents the dark and ancient practice of human sacrifice dedicated to Tanit and Baal, two prominent divinities worshipped by the Carthaginians. This ritualistic act was performed at the Tophet of Carthage or Salammbo, which served as a sacred site for these gruesome ceremonies. Carved with meticulous skill and precision, this wooden carving stands as evidence of both artistic mastery and religious devotion. Its intricate bas reliefs depict scenes from African mythology intertwined with elements of traditional North African culture. As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded of the complexities and mysteries that lie within ancient civilizations. It serves as a stark reminder that throughout history, various customs and traditions have shaped societies in ways unimaginable to us today. Luisa Ricciarini's expertly captured photograph allows us to delve into this fascinating period in time when religion played an integral role in shaping daily life. It invites contemplation on humanity's past practices while also evoking questions about our own beliefs and values in modern times.
