EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable collection of horn cups adorned with intricate engraved decorations. These archaeological treasures were discovered in Porto Torres and are now proudly displayed at the G. A. Sanna National Museum in Sassari, Sardinia. Dating back to approximately the 9th-8th centuries BCE, these horn cups offer a fascinating glimpse into the prehistoric era. Crafted with exquisite artistry and attention to detail, they serve as testament to the advanced skills possessed by ancient artisans. Each cup tells its own story through its unique engravings, which depict various scenes from daily life during that time period. From depictions of soldiers engaged in battle to glimpses of everyday activities and even mythical creatures, these engravings provide valuable insights into the culture and beliefs of our ancestors. The significance of these horn cups extends beyond their historical value; they also hold great literary and fictional appeal. Their presence evokes images of epic tales being shared around roaring fires or whispered secrets exchanged over a drink among friends. Preserved for generations, this extraordinary collection is not only an object of admiration but also serves as a crossprehistoric link between our modern world and an ancient civilization long gone. It stands as a reminder that despite the passage of time, human creativity continues to thrive across different eras. Captured beautifully by Alinari Fratelli's lens in 1960, this photograph immortalizes these magnificent artifacts for all to appreciate their beauty and significance. Let it transport you on a journey through time as you marvel at the craftsmanship exhibited by those who came before us.
