EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Double-Sided Votive Relief from the Greco-Roman Period, dating back to 305-30 BC. Carved out of limestone, this exquisite artifact measures 8.3x6.5x1.4 cm and is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The front side of the relief depicts a female figure adorned with intricate braided hair, wearing an elaborate costume complete with a breast necklace and armlets. Her profile is delicately sculpted, capturing her beauty and gracefulness. On the reverse side (not shown), another intriguing image awaits discovery. This double-sided nature adds depth and complexity to this ancient artwork. Although broken over time, this bas-relief still exudes its historical significance as a votive offering during Egypt's Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BC). It serves as a testament to the artistic skills and fashion trends prevalent during that era. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such detailed stone carvings. The fragmented state only enhances its allure as an archaeological artifact from ancient Egypt. Thanks to the generosity of John Huntington Art and Polytechnic Trust, we are able to admire this remarkable piece today at Cleveland Museum of Art. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide while providing valuable insights into our rich cultural heritage.
