Afterlife Bas Relief Chariot Funerary Horse Non Western Script On The Move Period Costume Stele Text Transportation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Paleovenet funerary stele found in Albignasego, Veneto, Italy. The intricate carving depicts a mesmerizing scene of the dead descending into the underworld. The full-length figure sits on a chariot pulled by horses, surrounded by symbolic elements that represent the afterlife. The bas relief artwork is a testament to Italic art and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this ancient civilization. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every aspect carefully crafted - from the flowing robes of the figure to the majestic birds soaring above. The text inscribed on the stele adds another layer of intrigue and mystery. Although written in non-western script, it serves as a reminder that communication transcends time and language barriers. Displayed indoors at Musei Civici Eremitani's Archaeological Museum in Padova, this single object transports viewers back in time to Ancient Rome. Its period costume reflects historical accuracy while evoking curiosity about life during that era. This print captures not only an exquisite piece of antiquity but also invites contemplation about human representation and our fascination with mortality and what lies beyond. With no people present in the image, it allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this ancient world where death was seen as just another part of existence.
