EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable hoard discovered in Carcassonne, Aude, France. The collection includes a twisted torque and penannular rings that date back to the Middle Bronze Age (2000-600 BC). These exquisite pieces are made of gold and are currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK. The twisted torque is an intricate necklace that features a unique design characterized by its twisting shape. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and skill of ancient artisans who created such stunning adornments. The penannular rings, on the other hand, are circular in shape with an open space or gap between their ends. They were commonly worn as decorative jewelry during this period. This photograph allows us to marvel at these ancient treasures and appreciate their historical significance. Each piece tells a story about the people who once wore them – perhaps they were symbols of status or served as protective talismans. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when these precious items held great value and meaning. Their beauty transcends centuries and serves as a reminder of our shared human history.
