EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of amulets in the shape of human heads, delicately arranged to form necklace elements. Created during the 4th or 3rd century BC by Carthaginian artisans, these amulets were made from glass paste and are now housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed in this ancient Punic art piece is truly remarkable. Each individual amulet represents a unique expression and features fine facial features that have withstood the test of time. These amulets were discovered in the necropolis of Fontana Noa in Olbia, Sardinia, offering us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Carthaginian civilization. Amulets held great significance for ancient populations as they were believed to possess protective powers against evil spirits or misfortune. This necklace formed by human head-shaped amulets would have been worn as both a decorative accessory and a symbol of good luck. Luisa Ricciarini's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical value of this artifact. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in expressing beliefs and superstitions throughout different civilizations across time.
