EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Etruscan Gold Fibula of Chimera, a remarkable artifact dating back to the 6th century BC. The Etruscan civilization, known for its opulence and influence in ancient Italy, left behind this stunning piece of jewelry that represents their mastery in metalwork. The fibula, or brooch, is meticulously crafted with intricate details and vibrant colors. Its golden hue adds an air of grandeur to this ancient treasure. The fibula takes inspiration from Greek mythology as it depicts the mythical creature Chimera—a beast with the body of a lioness, head of a goat, and tail ending in a serpent's head. This artifact not only serves as evidence of the Etruscans' exceptional craftsmanship but also provides insight into their cultural beliefs and mythological concepts. It symbolizes their connection to Greek mythology while showcasing their unique artistic interpretation. Photographed by CM Dixon, this detailed close-up allows us to appreciate every aspect of this magnificent object. From its animal likeness to its meticulous design, every element speaks volumes about the skill and creativity possessed by these ancient artisans. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and sophistication that once thrived within Etruria—the region encompassing Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio—where this extraordinary civilization flourished centuries ago.
