EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient Celtic civilization. The image features a pair of limestone opposed heads, believed to date back to the 3rd century BC, from Roquepertuse in France. Against a striking black background, these sculptures stand out with their intricate details and profound symbolism. The profile view highlights the skillful artistry that went into creating these anthropomorphic faces. Each curve and contour is meticulously carved, capturing the essence of human representation during that era. The horizontal composition adds a sense of balance and harmony to this single object captured in a studio shot. These opposing heads offer us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Celts, who inhabited this region over two millennia ago. Their artistic prowess is evident in every aspect of this sculpture - from its smooth texture to its expressive features. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time, marveling at how such masterpieces were created without modern tools or technology. This print serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of the incredible talent possessed by our ancestors
