EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art - a fragment of a folding tomb entrance door adorned with the head of a gorgon. Dating back to 300-100 BC, this marble sculpture is an exquisite example of classical craftsmanship. The intricate carving depicts the fearsome face of the gorgon, known in Greek mythology as a monstrous creature with snakes for hair and the power to turn anyone who looked at her into stone. The attention to detail in this sculpture is awe-inspiring, capturing every wrinkle and strand of snake hair with precision. Collected by Mr Benjamin Gott in the early 19th century, this artifact now resides within Leeds Museums and Art Galleries (Leeds City Museum) in the UK. Its historical significance lies not only in its mythological subject matter but also as evidence of ancient burial customs and artistic techniques. The fragmentary nature of this artwork adds an air of mystery, leaving us curious about what lay beyond that ornate door. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back through time to an era when these decorative elements held great symbolic importance within tombs. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and cultural significance behind such archaeological discoveries. It serves as a reminder that even fragments from our past can hold immense value in understanding our shared human history.
