EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the Celtic Iron Age - a Celtic Axehead dating back to the 6th century. The axehead, discovered in cremation burial no. 641 in Hallstatt, Austria, is adorned with intricate horseman decorations that speak volumes about the rich symbolism and craftsmanship of this ancient civilization. Against a striking black background, the image captures every detail of this fascinating object. The horseman motif symbolizes power, strength, and perhaps even an association with warfare or nobility within Celtic society. It serves as a testament to their deep connection with horses as well. The studio shot emphasizes the beauty and artistry of this iron age relic while preserving its historical significance for future generations to appreciate. The careful preservation of such objects allows us to delve into our past and gain insights into how our ancestors lived and perceived death. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time; we can almost feel the weight of history resting on our shoulders. This image not only represents an archaeological find but also embodies concepts such as tradition, legacy, and human ingenuity. Thanks to photographers like Mike Dixon who capture these extraordinary artifacts with precision and skillful lighting techniques, we can continue to explore humanity's collective heritage through stunning visuals like this one.
