EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable clay statue from Pompeii, dating back to the 2nd-1st century BC. The intricate sculpture depicts a Moor riding atop an elephant, with a magnificent turret perched on its back. Crafted from beige clay and adorned with white engobes, this ancient artifact exudes both elegance and historical significance. The full-length view of the statue allows us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. Standing tall and proud, the elephant carries its rider effortlessly as they journey through time together. The vertical composition emphasizes their grandeur and presence. As we delve into the details, we are transported to ancient Rome, where this artwork originated. The traditional clothing worn by the Moor adds authenticity to their representation while highlighting cultural diversity during that era. Animal themes were prevalent in Roman art, symbolizing power and strength.

Through this photograph, we are reminded of our rich history and how art has always been an integral part of human civilization. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' creativity and ingenuity while offering us glimpses into their world – one that existed long before ours began.
