EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory panel from the 5th century, now housed in the prestigious British Museum. The panel depicts a profound moment of doubt and disbelief known as the incredulity of Doubting Thomas. Standing before us is a male figure, his arm raised in a gesturing hand gesture that conveys his skepticism. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this artifact bring to life the concept of doubt and uncertainty. The craftsmanship exhibited in this ancient masterpiece is truly remarkable. Every delicate line etched into the ivory tells a story, capturing the essence of human emotion through artistry. As we gaze upon this timeless creation, we are transported back to an era where faith was tested and questioned. The presence of other individuals within the panel adds depth to its narrative. We can imagine them witnessing Thomas' hesitation with curiosity or concern. This scene serves as a reminder that doubt is not exclusive to one person; it is part of our shared human experience. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, we have been granted access to this extraordinary piece from history's treasure trove. Their skillful capture allows us to appreciate every minute detail while preserving its integrity for generations to come. As we contemplate this photograph print, let us reflect on our own moments of doubt and how they shape our understanding of ourselves and others throughout time.
