EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ancient artifact known as the Alabastron. Originating from Greece, specifically Corinth, this terracotta masterpiece dates back to approximately 595-570 B. C. The craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed in this piece are truly remarkable. Measuring at a height of 10.1 cm and with a body diameter of 5.4 cm (4 x 2 1/8 in. ), the Alabastron's compact size does not diminish its impact. Its elegant shape and delicate rim, measuring at a diameter of 3.7 cm (1 7/16 in. ), add to its overall allure. The intricate design on the surface of the terracotta is evidence of the skilled hands that created it centuries ago. Each curve and line tells a story, inviting us to delve into the rich history behind this artifact. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but wonder about its purpose during ancient times. Was it used for storing precious oils or perfumes? Or perhaps it held some other valuable substance? Regardless of its original function, one thing remains certain: this Alabastron serves as a tangible connection to our past—a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that has stood the test of time. Through this print from Liszt Collection, we are granted a glimpse into ancient Greek civilization and reminded once again how art transcends generations, leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
