EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Etruscan votive offerings from a sanctuary of healing, carefully preserved in the British Museum. The image focuses on one particular artefact, providing viewers with an intimate close-up view. Vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient piece to life. The Etruscans were known for their deep belief in the power of healing and sought solace in sanctuaries dedicated to this purpose. This photograph captures the essence of their spiritual practices, as each votive offering was meticulously crafted to represent different parts of the body. As we examine this hand-shaped object, we are transported back in time to an era where health and well-being held immense significance. The craftsmanship is remarkable; every line and curve reflects the dedication put into creating these sacred objects. Through centuries-old traditions, these votive offerings served as symbols of hope and faith, believed to possess curative properties when offered at sanctuaries like this one. They stand as a testament to human resilience and our eternal quest for physical and emotional healing. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise, we can now appreciate the beauty of these artefacts up close while admiring their historical importance. This print serves as a window into another world—a glimpse into ancient Etruria's beliefs surrounding health, spirituality, and the power that lies within our own bodies.
