EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a round medallion plate from the 2nd century BC, depicting the enigmatic figure of Cybele. Crafted by an anonymous master, this ancient artifact was discovered in the esteemed collection of the Musee Guimet in Paris. The image portrays Cybele, a prominent deity in Greek mythology and an important figure in the cult of Cybele. She is depicted riding a chariot drawn by lions, symbolizing her power and dominion over nature. The fine artistry displayed on this plate highlights intricate details such as flowing robes and delicate facial features. Cybele's significance extends beyond Greece; she was also worshipped in Bactria (modern-day Afghanistan) during Hellenistic times. This connection is evident through her association with the sun god, as indicated by rays emanating from her head. The use of electrum - a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver - further emphasizes her celestial status. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into ancient beliefs and allegories that were central to their culture and literature. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Whether you are fascinated by archaeology or simply appreciate fine art images steeped in mythology, this print will transport you back to an intriguing period when gods reigned supreme and legends thrived.
