EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Late Roman period, specifically the 3rd century. The Silver Dish, whose creator remains unknown, is an exquisite example of ancient metalwork. With its close-up perspective, the image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into its creation. The dish features concentric circles meticulously engraved on its surface, symbolizing both aesthetic beauty and conceptual depth. Its silver color adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to this historical piece. Originating from Gaul (modern-day France), it represents a significant part of the region's heritage art. In addition to its artistic value, this dish carries practical significance as well. In an era when hygiene was crucial for maintaining good health, crockery like this played a vital role in daily life. It served as homeware used for washing or storing various items. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City, this Roman treasure offers us a glimpse into the opulence and refinement of late antiquity. As we admire this relic from centuries past, let us marvel at how it has withstood the test of time and continues to captivate audiences today.
