EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief representing Epona, the Gaulish goddess known for her role as the protector of horses, riders, and travelers. Created by Gallo-Roman artisans between 50 BC and 400 AD in Mellicey, Saone-et-Loire, this stone bas-relief beautifully captures the essence of Epona's divine presence. In this artwork, Epona stands tall and majestic atop a high horse, symbolizing her close connection to these magnificent creatures. Her feminine grace is juxtaposed with the strength and power emanating from both herself and the horse beneath her. As she gazes into the distance with an air of serenity and wisdom, one can almost feel her protective energy enveloping all those who embark on journeys or rely on horses for their livelihoods. The intricate details carved into the stone bring life to every element of this relief. From the flowing mane of Epona's loyal steed to the delicate features adorning her face, each aspect reflects meticulous craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Displayed at Musee Denon in Chalon-sur-Saone, France, this extraordinary piece serves as a testament to ancient Gallic beliefs and traditions. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with mythology and our deep-rooted connection to nature's most noble creatures – horses.
