EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a "Fragment of a mould" from the Augustan Period, dating back to 27 BC-AD 14. The terracotta artifact, measuring 14.6 cm in size, is housed at the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. This remarkable piece was generously gifted to the museum by the John Huntington Art and Polytechnic Trust. The photograph captures the intricate details of this ancient treasure, revealing a laurel wreath design meticulously crafted on its surface. Symbolizing victory and honor in Roman culture, laurels were often worn as crowns during important events or bestowed upon esteemed individuals. Despite its fragmented state, this ceramic mold exudes an undeniable sense of classical beauty and historical significance. It serves as a tangible link to the past, offering us glimpses into the skilled craftsmanship of Roman artisans during the first century. As we gaze upon this broken yet resilient relic, we are reminded of our shared human history and how art can transcend time. Its presence within the Cleveland Museum of Art allows visitors to immerse themselves in ancient culture while contemplating their own place within it. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this extraordinary artifact through their lens, preserving its delicate features for all admirers of fine art to appreciate and cherish for generations to come.
