EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of Phoenician art in Cyprus, showcasing the Amathus sarcophagus from the Archaic Period in the 5th century B.C. The limestone sarcophagus is adorned with detailed reliefs depicting a grand parade with chariots, offering a glimpse into ancient funerary practices and beliefs.
The scene on the sarcophagus features soldiers on horseback, attendants, and even sphinxes, all intricately sculpted to convey a sense of movement and grandeur. The gabled lid of the coffin adds to its majestic presence, while the decorated foot wheels showcase exquisite craftsmanship.
Originally discovered in a tomb at Amathus in Cyprus, this piece now resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and artistic mastery. The procession depicted on this sarcophagus serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Phoenicia and its influence on ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
As you gaze upon this photo print, let yourself be transported back in time to an era when art was not just decoration but a powerful expression of belief and tradition. Experience the age-old connection between life and death through this remarkable piece of history preserved for generations to come.
