This print showcases an exquisite piece of ancient art from Italy's Calabria region. The image features a Pinax, a terracotta artifact dating back to the 5th Century B. C. , discovered in Locri. The Pinax depicts a man approaching a seated couple with an offering, symbolizing an act of generosity or religious devotion. The intricate details of this archaeological treasure are evident even through the cracks and damages it has endured over time. The studio shot captures the full length of this remarkable sculpture, showcasing its vertical composition and emphasizing its historical significance.
