EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Indian terracotta statuette of a monkey, dating back to the 1st century BC. Hailing from Sar Dheri and currently housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum's collection, this artifact is a true testament to ancient Indian craftsmanship. The monkey statuette, with its charming expression and cute demeanor, instantly captures our attention. The use of terracotta ceramics adds depth and texture to the piece, highlighting the skillful artistry involved in its creation. Against a striking black background, every intricate detail comes to life. This photograph not only celebrates the beauty of this historical object but also invites us to ponder upon its significance within Indian culture. It serves as a reminder of India's rich artistic heritage and offers insight into their reverence for animals. Located in Pakistan today, Sar Dheri was once part of Hindoostan (India), making this artwork even more culturally significant. As we admire this studio shot image captured by CM Dixon at the Museum of Ornamental Art within Victoria & Albert Museum, we are transported back in time to witness an era long gone. With no commercial intent behind it, this print allows us to appreciate and learn from our past while preserving these treasures for future generations.
