Bologna Bronze Grey Background Iron Age Overhead View Prehistoric Era Spindle Thread Two Objects Villanovian Culture Weaving Archaeological Artifact

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bronze spindle-whorls from the Benacci necropolis in Bologna, Italy. Representing the Prehistory era and belonging to the Villanovian culture, these archaeological artifacts provide a fascinating glimpse into ancient weaving techniques. The image captures two bronze spindle-whorls placed against a serene grey background, allowing their exquisite details to take center stage. The overhead view highlights their vertical orientation and delicate craftsmanship. These objects were used by skilled hands to spin thread for weaving purposes during the Iron Age. With no people present in this studio shot, our attention is solely drawn towards these remarkable relics that have stood the test of time. Each whorl bears witness to an era long gone but not forgotten – a testament to human ingenuity and creativity.
