EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Neolithic bone pins discovered at the Skara Brae Neolithic settlement in Orkney, Scotland. The image is rich in color and detail, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of these ancient artifacts. Each pin serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of our prehistoric ancestors. Housed within the Tankernges House Museum's esteemed collection, these bone pins are not only archaeological treasures but also exquisite pieces of jewelry from a bygone era. Their location in Orkney adds an extra layer of historical significance, as this region has long been known for its rich Neolithic heritage. Measuring just a few centimeters in length, these delicate objects offer us a glimpse into the lives and customs of those who once inhabited Skara Brae. They were likely used as decorative accessories or practical tools by our early ancestors. The expertise required to fashion such intricate designs out of bone is truly remarkable. Photographed by CM Dixon during 1996-98 under AccuSoft Inc. , this image captures the essence and beauty of these ancient artifacts with great precision. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years later, we can still marvel at the skill and artistry displayed by those who came before us.
