EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Archaic Greek gold plaque of a running gorgon, dating back to the 7th century BC. The artifact originates from the sanctuary of temple A, located in Himera near Palermo on Sicily and is currently housed at the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Palermo, Italy. The intricate craftsmanship of this ancient piece is truly remarkable. The gorgon, a mythical creature with serpents for hair and a terrifying gaze that could turn anyone into stone, is depicted in full motion as it gracefully runs across the surface of the golden plaque. Its dynamic pose captures both power and elegance. This artifact not only represents the artistic skills of ancient Greeks but also holds great religious significance. In Greek mythology, Gorgons were believed to possess protective powers against evil spirits and were often associated with temples dedicated to various gods. The vibrant coloration adds depth and life to this masterpiece, making it even more awe-inspiring. As we admire this relic from another era, we are transported back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage and civilisation that flourished during Greece's Archaic period. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon who have captured its beauty through their lens, we can now appreciate this extraordinary object from afar. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with history and mythology while reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by ancient civilizations.
