EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - a bearded mask made of terracotta, discovered in Carthage, Tunisia. The mask is believed to be an exquisite example of Phoenician art dating back to the 4th century B. C. Currently housed in the prestigious Musee du Louvre in Paris, France, it stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of this ancient civilization. The image itself is captured with great attention to detail and precision. Shot in a studio setting, the vertical composition allows for an intimate exploration of this anthropomorphic face. The intricate craftsmanship and delicate features are beautifully highlighted against the neutral background. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into history but also invites contemplation on themes such as disguise and identity prevalent in middle eastern culture during that era. The use of ceramics adds another layer of fascination, showcasing the mastery involved in creating such intricate pieces using terracotta. While there are no people present within the frame, their absence only serves to emphasize the significance and singularity of this artifact. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty
