EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of earrings adorned with the black skin faces of a man and a woman. Dating back to the end of the 3rd century BC, these exquisite pieces were crafted by Greek artisans using gold and garnet. Currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy, they are a testament to the artistic prowess of Magna Graecia. The circular earrings feature intricate details such as filigree work and engraving incisions, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship employed during their creation. Measuring approximately 1.8 cm in diameter, these earrings were discovered in Tomb 3 within Taranto's Vaccarella district. These ancient treasures offer us a glimpse into the rich history of Great Greece and its influence on jewelry design during this period. The combination of gold and garnets creates an opulent aesthetic that would have undoubtedly caught the eye of anyone who beheld them. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every nuance and detail through her photography, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind these remarkable artifacts. This image serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their enduring legacy in artistry and culture.
