EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble statue, titled "Ashkelon Woman," is a captivating representation of a Hellenistic-era Greek woman, dating back to the 2nd century BC. Discovered in the ancient coastal city of Ashkelon in modern-day Israel, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem. The woman is depicted in a chiton, a simple, long-sleeved garment that was the standard clothing for Greek women during this period. The chiton is draped elegantly over her figure, revealing the intricate folds and creases that are characteristic of Hellenistic sculpture. The drapery is delicately rendered, with each fold and crease meticulously carved to create a sense of fluidity and grace. The statue's subject wears her long, flowing hair loose, adorned with a diadem, a sign of her affluence and status. Her serene expression and poised posture exude an air of sophistication and refinement, making her a symbol of the Hellenistic age's cultural and artistic achievements. The Ashkelon Woman is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Hellenistic period, a time of great innovation and experimentation in Greek art. Her intricate drapery, lifelike features, and graceful pose continue to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
