EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Strigil marble sarcophagus, originating from the ancient Roman civilization in the 3rd century. The relief carved on this remarkable piece of antiquity depicts the iconic figure of the Good Shepherd, standing tall and majestic against a striking black background. With its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, this sculpture truly transports us back to a bygone era. The shepherd's full-length presence exudes an aura of tranquility and wisdom as he holds his staff with grace and authority. Surrounding him are intricately carved lion heads, symbolizing strength and power. This horizontal bas-relief serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Rome. The sheep scattered around the shepherd further emphasize his role as protector and guide for his flock. Every element in this composition is meticulously crafted out of marble, showcasing the skillful artistry prevalent during that time period. As we gaze upon this archaeological artifact captured in studio shot perfection, it is impossible not to be awestruck by its timeless beauty. This single object encapsulates centuries of traditional culture, human representation, animal themes, and historical significance. With no people present within the frame, we are left alone with our thoughts to ponder upon the mysteries of ancient civilizations like Rome - their customs, beliefs, triumphs, and tribulations. Through this photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are granted a glimpse into the past that continues to fascinate us today.
