EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Copper Age - a tassel with a pierced round disc, discovered alongside the famous Oetzi Iceman. The delicate tassel is crafted from leather and stone, representing the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancient ancestors. The Oetzi Iceman, a prehistoric mountaineer who lived in the 4th millennium BC, was found perfectly preserved at an astonishing altitude of 3200 meters in the Tyrolean Alps. His tragic demise was likely caused by an arrowhead wound to his left shoulder. This talismanic piece was unearthed alongside him, offering us valuable insights into his culture and beliefs. Displayed at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, this artifact serves as a tangible link to our distant past. Its intricate design and meticulous execution speak volumes about the artistic skills possessed by individuals during that era. Photographed by Wolfgang Neeb, this image allows us to appreciate every detail of this ancient treasure. It invites us to ponder on how life must have been for these early inhabitants of Europe's mountainous regions and encourages us to reflect on our own connection with history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's enduring curiosity and fascination with our origins. It serves as a testament to human resilience while also reminding us that even thousands of years later, we can still marvel at their achievements through artistry such as this exquisite tassel.
