EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cast of a slab from the Tumulus of Petit-mont, an ancient burial site in Arzon, Brittany, France. The slab is the third support on the left inside the dolmen chamber and offers a fascinating glimpse into prehistoric times. What makes this cast particularly intriguing is that it appears human feet were possibly added at a later stage, suggesting some form of modification or symbolism. As we examine this remarkable artifact further, our eyes are drawn to intricate carvings depicting ships and serpents. These enigmatic symbols hint at the significance of water transport during that era and perhaps hold deeper cultural or spiritual meanings yet to be fully understood. The vibrant colors preserved on this cast add another layer of intrigue to its story. Its location in Morbihan County adds historical context as well, connecting us directly with ancient civilizations that once thrived in this region. With every detail captured by CM Dixon's lens, we can't help but contemplate concepts such as life and death while standing before this portal grave. This mausoleum-like structure serves as a powerful reminder of our ancestors' reverence for their departed loved ones. Mike Dixon's expert photography allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind each element within this photograph. It invites us to delve into the mysteries surrounding prehistoric cultures and ponder their beliefs about transportation, spirituality, and commemoration of those who came before us.
