EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of ancient jewelry - a single earring from the Roman Imperial Period. Crafted with meticulous detail, this gold and garnet earring dates back to 100 BC-100 AD, making it over two thousand years old. Its delicate design and intricate craftsmanship speak volumes about the artistic prowess of the time. Measuring at just 2.4 cm in diameter and 0.5 cm in width, this earring is a testament to the skillful manipulation of precious materials by ancient artisans. The combination of gleaming gold and vibrant garnet creates a striking contrast that adds to its allure. Housed within the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this remarkable artifact was generously gifted by Dr. and Mrs. Jerald S. Brodkey in memory of Frederick D. Brodkey. The earring's origins can be traced back to Syria during classical antiquity when Roman influence reigned supreme across vast territories. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the rich cultural heritage left behind by those who came before us. As we gaze upon this timeless treasure captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with adornment throughout history – an eternal desire to express beauty through wearable artistry.
