"Ossimo 4 From Italy"


Sculpture
41"x 34"x 3", Weight 8 lbs

This rock engraving is from the Valcamonica Rock Art Site in Italy, where one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric rock art exist in all of Europe. Each year over 200,000 people come to visit this site from around the world. It is believed that this specific engraving was created during the Copper Age, between 2400 - 2200 BC.
The white pigment seen within the depressions of this piece is meant to replicate the modern day chalk used to "highlight" the actual engraving, which would otherwise be almost impossible to see after so many thousands of years.
