Ceramics Directly Above Oil Lamp Archaeological Artifact
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite antiquity from the excavation site of Riva del Garda in Italy. The image features a fictile votive lamp with two wicks, dating back to the 2nd Century A. D. , carefully preserved at the Museo Civico (Art Museum). The lamp's delicate craftsmanship is evident as it stands alone, captured in a studio shot. Its vertical orientation allows us to appreciate its intricate details and ancient Roman artistry. With no people present, this artifact takes center stage, evoking a sense of reverence for the past. Once used for religious purposes, this oil lamp served as a vessel for illumination and devotion during ancient times. Made from ceramics and adorned with ornate patterns, it represents both art and craft intertwined seamlessly. As we gaze upon this archaeological treasure directly from above, our imagination transports us back to the era of Ancient Rome. We can almost envision flickering flames emanating from its twin wicks, casting warm light on those who sought solace or offered prayers. This print reminds us of the rich history embedded within Italy's cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and spirituality throughout time—a tangible link connecting us to our ancestors' beliefs and practices.
