EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Late Roman period, specifically the 3rd to 4th century. The "Cylindrical Box with Chain" is an exquisite creation of unknown origin, crafted with great skill and attention to detail. Made from a copper alloy, this box exemplifies the exceptional metalwork prevalent during this era. The cylindrical shape of the box adds to its allure, while the close-up shot allows us to appreciate its intricate design even more. The lid features a chain that not only serves as a decorative element but also enhances its portability – an ingenious feature for such an ancient object. Hailing from Italy, this bronze masterpiece represents the rich heritage art of late antiquity in Rome. It stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors during the Middle Ages or medieval period. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (commonly known as The Met), this artifact has found its rightful place among other historical treasures on display. As we admire this photograph, let us marvel at how it connects us with our past and reminds us of our shared human history.
