EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable collection of ancient artifacts from Knossos, dating back to the late Minoan period around 1500 BC. The focal point of the image is a double axehead, flanked by two figurines, each crafted with different materials - bronze and terracotta. The double axehead holds great significance in Minoan culture, symbolizing power and strength. It was not only used as a weapon but also carried deep religious connotations associated with fertility rituals. Its presence here hints at the importance of these beliefs within the society. The two figurines on either side add an intriguing dimension to this composition. The bronze figure represents a female form, exuding an air of naivety and simplicity in its stylized features. On the other hand, the terracotta statuette portrays a male figure with distinct Cretan characteristics. These carefully sculpted idols were likely revered as sacred objects or perhaps served as protective talismans for their owners. Their presence in this photograph offers us a glimpse into the artistic prowess and cultural practices that thrived during this ancient era. Preserved within the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University, UK, these artifacts serve as tangible links to our past civilizations' rich heritage. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the beauty and historical significance of these intricate sculptures from Crete's illustrious history.
