EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Roman civilization, dating back to the 1st century A. D. It features a bronze sistrum with a handle shaped in the form of the Egyptian deity Bes. Surmounting this intricate piece is an exquisitely crafted female face and a charming cat figure. The photograph, taken in a studio setting, highlights every detail of this ancient treasure. The bronze sistrum serves as both decoration and an archaeological artifact, representing the rich history of Pompei and Ancient Rome. Its vertical composition emphasizes its single object status while drawing attention to its stunning craftsmanship. The inclusion of female likeness adds depth to this artwork's significance. Against colored backgrounds - grey or otherwise - this image evokes a sense of timelessness, transporting us back to an era long gone by. It reminds us of the interconnectedness between civilizations and their shared artistic influences. With no people present in the frame, our focus is solely on this mesmerizing representation of an Egyptian god intertwined with Roman culture. This print captures not just artistry but also serves as a visual gateway into understanding our pasts more intimately
