EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable discovery of a quiver found with the Oetzi Iceman, made from chamois leather during the Copper Age. The image captures this ancient artifact in all its glory, allowing us to marvel at its intricate craftsmanship and historical significance. The quiver was unearthed alongside the remains of the Oetzi Iceman, a prehistoric mountaineer who lived during the 4th millennium BC. Found perfectly preserved in an ice glacier at an astonishing altitude of 3200 meters in Tyrolean Alps, this extraordinary find provides invaluable insights into our ancestors' way of life. Believed to have met his demise due to an arrowhead wound on his left shoulder, this photograph immortalizes not only the quiver but also sheds light on how weaponry played a crucial role in survival during that era. The arrows stored within it were essential tools for hunting and self-defense. Through Wolfgang Neeb's lens, we are transported back thousands of years as we gaze upon this archaeological treasure. The skeletal body of Oetzi lies nearby, reminding us of our shared human history and igniting curiosity about what life must have been like so long ago. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and fragility. It is a visual reminder that even after millennia have passed since their creation, these artifacts continue to captivate our imagination and deepen our understanding of those who came before us.
