EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Cup, c. 620-600 BC (bucchero sottile ceramic). Created by the skilled hands of an Etruscan artist in the 7th century BC, this delicate cup measures 16.5x16.5 cm and is now housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design of this piece are truly awe-inspiring. Made from bucchero sottile ceramic, a type of fine black pottery commonly used by the Etruscans, this cup exemplifies their mastery in decorative arts. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but wonder about its rich history and purpose. Was it once used as a container for precious liquids or perhaps as dinnerware during grand feasts? Its elegant form suggests that it may have been reserved for special occasions or even held symbolic significance within Etruscan culture. Generously gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. W. Ney Evans, this extraordinary relic offers us a glimpse into an ancient civilization that thrived centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity across time. Let us cherish this moment frozen in time through Bridgeman Images' expert photography, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical value.
