EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 12th century Byzantium era. The "Deep Plate with Hawk and Foliage" is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of that time. Made from sgraffito earthenware, this deep plate measures approximately 3.9 x 22.3 cm (1 9/16 x 8 3/4 in. ), making it a delicate yet impactful piece. The intricate design on the plate depicts a majestic hawk surrounded by lush foliage, beautifully etched into the surface using the sgraffito technique. This ancient art form involves scratching through layers of colored slip to reveal contrasting colors beneath, resulting in an awe-inspiring visual effect. The hawk symbolizes strength, power, and freedom while the foliage represents nature's beauty and abundance. Together, they create a harmonious composition that transports us back to an era filled with artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this photo print, we can't help but marvel at how such detailed artwork was created centuries ago without modern tools or technology. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and ignites our curiosity about life during Byzantium's golden age. Whether displayed in a museum or cherished within private collections, this deep plate offers us a glimpse into history - an opportunity to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance for generations to come.
