This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction drawing by the talented artist Ivan Lapper, depicting the ossuary burial cist known as Cist J940465 in Drixxle Combe. Steeped in Bronze Age history, this graphic representation offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient burial practices. Lapper's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, bringing to life the intricate design and structure of this archaeological treasure. The cist itself stands as a testament to our ancestors' reverence for their departed loved ones, providing an insight into their beliefs and rituals surrounding death. The bronze age era was marked by significant cultural advancements, and this image serves as a window into that distant past. Through Lapper's skillful artistry, we can envision how these burial sites were constructed with precision and care.
