EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Scythian vase from Kul-Oba Kurgan, Crimea, dating back to the 4th century BC. The exquisite craftsmanship of this Greek School creation is evident in its intricate details and use of gold or electrum. The vase depicts a scene that takes us back in time, revealing the ancient practice of dentistry. In this fascinating image, we witness a dentist diligently at work on his patient's teeth. With focused concentration, he delicately extracts a tooth using an ornate tool while the patient endures the discomfort with stoicism. The spherical vessel holding various dental instruments adds to the authenticity and realism of the scene. The decorative elements adorning this Scythian vase further enhance its beauty and historical significance. Every stroke and curve reflects the mastery of Greek workmanship during that era. This remarkable piece not only serves as a testament to ancient dentistry practices but also provides insight into Scythian culture. Preserved within the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this artifact allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and archaeological importance. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back thousands of years ago when dentistry was still in its infancy but already making strides towards relieving pain and maintaining oral health. This print captures a moment frozen in time - an extraordinary blend of artistry, history, and human experience that continues to intrigue viewers across generations.
