EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tank ornament from the 7th - 6th century BC, crafted by the Scythian civilization. The bronze sculpture depicts an exquisite figure of a deer, elegantly adorning the top of the ornament. Preserved in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Scythia. The intricate craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail of the deer's form has been meticulously sculpted with precision and skill. Its graceful stance and lifelike features evoke a sense of reverence for both nature and artistry. As we admire this object, we are transported back in time to an era when such ornaments adorned transport vehicles like chariots. This suggests that not only was it meant to be aesthetically pleasing but also held symbolic significance within Scythian society. Archaeology enthusiasts will appreciate how this artifact provides valuable insights into Scythian culture and their relationship with animals. The presence of deer as a prominent motif hints at their importance within their population's mythology or daily life. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary bronze artwork, ensuring its beauty can be appreciated by all who encounter it today.
