Button Duck Iron Age Prehistory Villanovian Culture Animal Representation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable button adorned with charming duck-shaped ornaments, originating from the necropolis of Le Rose at Tarquinia in the province of Viterbo, Italy. Belonging to the Iron Age and specifically associated with the Villanovan culture, this exquisite artifact offers a glimpse into prehistoric times. Against a pristine white background, this studio shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient piece. The vertical composition emphasizes its singular nature as it stands alone as an object of art and craft. With no people present in the image, our focus is solely on this fascinating button that exudes historical significance. The representation of animals holds great importance within archaeological studies, and here we witness how even everyday objects were embellished with such symbolism during ancient times. This particular button's design pays homage to ducks, perhaps indicating their cultural or spiritual significance within Villanovan society. As we delve into Italy's rich past through images like these, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and invites us to ponder upon our own connection with those who came before us. Let it inspire curiosity about our collective heritage while appreciating the beauty found in antiquities such as this remarkable duck-adorned button from Tarquinia's necropolis of Le Rose.
