EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Hunnish gold fibula in the form of a cicada. Dating back to the 2nd century, this exquisite brooch holds great significance as it was a symbol of rank among the Huns. The intricate craftsmanship and ornate design make it an exceptional artifact. Captured against a clean white background in the National Museum in Budapest, this studio shot allows us to appreciate every detail of this golden masterpiece. The vibrant color and meticulous attention to detail bring out the beauty of this ancient jewelry. The choice to depict a cicada on this fibula is intriguing, as these insects were highly regarded by the Huns. Perhaps they saw them as symbols of resilience or transformation, reflecting their own nomadic lifestyle and warrior culture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining how such an extraordinary object would have been worn with pride by its Hun owner. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in human expression and cultural identity. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise behind the lens, we can now admire this magnificent artifact from afar. This print not only preserves our heritage but also invites us to delve into fascinating stories from centuries past.
