EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable stone relief from the 2nd century, featuring the revered water-goddess Coventina. The triple forms of this British deity are beautifully depicted in vibrant colors against a striking black background. This artifact was discovered near Hadrian's Wall at Coventina's well and now resides in the prestigious Chester Museum in Northumberland. In this image, Coventina is portrayed as a powerful female figure, seated with one arm raised in an expressive gesture. The intricate details of the relief carving highlight her divine presence and emphasize her significance within religious beliefs during that era. This studio shot expertly captures every nuance of this ancient sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic value and historical importance. Coventina was worshipped as a goddess associated with water, symbolizing purity, healing, and abundance. Her depiction here exemplifies her role as a guardian of natural springs and sacred waters. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork created centuries ago by skilled hands, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds to connect us with our past. Renowned photographer CM Dixon skillfully captured this image under Mike Dixon's direction without any commercial intent but rather to preserve and share our rich cultural heritage through visual storytelling.
