EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - a Mycenaean pottery rhyton in the shape of a Bull's Head, dating back to the 14th century BC. Hailing from an intriguing tomb at Karpathos, Greece, this artifact is now proudly displayed in the prestigious British Museum. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this bull-shaped cup. The horned head exudes power and strength while intricate patterns adorn its surface, adding an element of beauty and sophistication. The vibrant colors used on this pottery create a striking contrast against the dark background, further enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this extraordinary object, we are transported back in time to the ancient city of Mycenae. It serves as a poignant reminder of life and death during that era - an object once used for ceremonial purposes or perhaps even as part of burial rituals. Located amidst the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea, Karpathos holds within its soil countless secrets from antiquity. This rhyton represents just one small fragment of its rich history and cultural heritage. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon who have captured these images with great skill and precision, we can continue to admire and appreciate these invaluable artifacts without commercial intent but rather for their historical significance alone.
