EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artifact from ancient times - the Amulet of the Egyptian god Bes. Crafted in the 7th or 6th century BC, this Glass paste sculpture is a testament to the rich civilization and mythology of Carthaginian or Punic culture. Measuring just 6 cm, this small yet powerful amulet holds great significance. The intricate carving depicts Bes, a mythological character associated with fertility and protection. As one of Egypt's most beloved gods, Bes was believed to bring good luck and guard against evil spirits. The skillful craftsmanship evident in this amulet speaks volumes about the artistic prowess of ancient civilizations. It serves as a window into their beliefs and superstitions surrounding fertility and reproduction. Housed in the Musee du Bardo in Tunis, Tunisia, this artifact stands as a reminder of Carthage's influence on Egyptian art during that era. Its presence evokes curiosity about how such objects were valued by the population at that time. Thanks to photographer Luisa Ricciarini's keen eye for detail, we can now appreciate this stunning piece up close. Through her lens, we are transported back thousands of years to witness not only an artistic masterpiece but also gain insight into our ancestors' reverence for divine beings like Bes.
