This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - a CAMUNI large figure with deer antlers on his head, believed to be the god Cernunnos. The petroglyphs are etched onto Permian sandstone, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Located in the National Park of Rock Engravings in Lombardy, Italy, this UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site has been preserving these precious rock engravings since 1979. Photographed by Elena Piccini in August 2016 at Naquane in Valle Camonica, this image captures the essence of an Iron Age/Bronze Age archaeological site. The intricate details and symbolism depicted through these petroglyphs offer a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Italy. The significance of Cernunnos as a god or divinity is evident in this artwork. His portrayal with deer antlers on his head suggests a connection to nature and fertility. These rock engravings serve as graffiti left behind by the peoples of ancient Italy, showcasing their artistic expression and beliefs. Visiting this archaeological area feels like stepping back in time to witness prehistoric rock art firsthand. With its stunning beauty and historical importance, it serves as a testament to the Indo-European civilization that once thrived here.
