EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of Etruscan art: a fibula (pin) made of pure gold. Dating back to 630 BC, this remarkable artifact was discovered in the grave of the Lictor (Littore) in Vetulonia, Italy. With its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship, it is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Etruscan civilization. Measuring 21 cm in length, this fibula is currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Florence. The delicate curves and ornate details of this ancient brooch are truly awe-inspiring. Its golden hue adds a touch of opulence and elegance to its overall appearance. The fibula served as both a functional accessory for fastening garments and as a symbol of status and wealth during ancient times. This particular piece exemplifies the mastery that Etruscan artisans possessed over metalwork and jewelry making. Through archaeology, we gain valuable insights into past civilizations' cultures and traditions. This photograph by Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance behind this extraordinary artifact from antiquity. As we admire this stunning example of Etruscan artistry, let us appreciate how it connects us with our ancestors' creativity while reminding us that even after centuries have passed, their legacy lives on through these tangible remnants of their culture.
