Ancient Monument Black Background Neolithic Phallus Prehistoric Chalk Henge Mike Dixon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Carved Chalk Phallus. Discovered in an infilled pit within the Maumbury Rings, this exquisite piece now finds its home at the prestigious Dorset County Museum. The intricately carved phallus stands as a testament to the artistic skills and cultural significance of our Neolithic ancestors. Crafted from chalk, it exudes a unique charm with its delicate details and smooth texture. The studio shot against a black background accentuates every curve and contour, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even more. As we gaze upon this prehistoric object, we are transported back in time to when rituals and beliefs were deeply intertwined with fertility symbols like this phallus. Its vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise distant era, reminding us of the rich history that lies beneath our feet. Credit goes to CM Dixon for capturing such an extraordinary image that preserves not only the physicality but also the essence of this ancient monument. Through his lens, we can marvel at how art transcends time and connects us with our past.
