EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek pottery, known as the West Slope ware pylix. Crafted during the 2nd century BC, this ceramic vessel is supported by three intricately designed lion's claw feet, adding an element of grandeur and elegance to its overall appearance. The pylix was discovered in Thessaloniki and now resides within the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Its historical significance lies not only in its age but also in its representation of Greek artistry from that era. The craftsmanship exhibited on this pylix reflects the mastery and attention to detail characteristic of Greek ceramics. The intricate patterns adorning its surface are a testament to the skillful hands that brought it into existence centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining how this vessel once held precious liquids or perhaps played a role in ceremonial rituals. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and an ancient civilization that continues to fascinate us with its rich cultural heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate both the beauty and historical value encapsulated within this single artifact. This photograph allows us to marvel at an exquisite piece of history while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with art across time and space.
