EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary artifact from the ancient Etruscan civilization. The image features an urn lid, dating back to the 2nd century BC, discovered in Volterra, Pisa Province, Italy. Against a striking black background, this full-length statue commands attention with its intricate carving and historical significance. The focal point of the urn lid is a deceased person holding up a diptych—a pair of hinged wooden tablets used for writing or painting. This unique representation offers insight into the customs and beliefs of the Etruscans during that era. The sculpture's front view allows us to appreciate every detail meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. The studio shot highlights the artistry behind this ancient masterpiece while emphasizing its timeless beauty. A female likeness lies on her side, adorned with a headscarf that adds an air of mystery and elegance to her visage. With no people present in the frame, we are left alone to contemplate the rich history encapsulated within this single object. As we gaze upon this relic from another time, it transports us back to an era long gone—the past brought vividly to life through art and craft. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to those who came before us and invites contemplation on how their legacy continues to shape our world today.
