"C08th: A Journey Through Centuries of Art and History" Step into the world of ancient civilizations and medieval times with C08th, a captivating collection that spans across various cultures and artistic mediums. From the delicate Lekythos depicting Hercules battling the fearsome Lernaean Hydra in 700-480 BC to the majestic sandstone sculpture of Ganesh from Tuol Pheak Kin, Kandal Province dating back to the 7th-8th century, this exhibition offers a glimpse into diverse eras. Marvel at the intricate gold bowl from Nagyszentmiklos, Romania, crafted during the 8th-9th century. Its ornate design reflects both opulence and craftsmanship cherished by past societies. In contrast, an enchanting photo captures a serene moment within a nunnery, reminding us of devotion and spirituality prevalent throughout history. The meeting between Pope Adrian I and Charlemagne immortalized in a hand-colored print from Paris in 1493 transports us to an era where religion intertwined with politics. Equally fascinating is Pepin III depicted alongside powerful animals - a lion and bull - symbolizing strength and nobility as seen in Colart's engraving published around 1840. Discover mythical tales through silver artwork like "The Buffalo-Slayer Goddess" rhyton created around 600-700 AD or witness an intense battle scene featuring an 8th-century French knight portrayed in another striking engraving by Colart. Transitioning further back in time, immerse yourself in ancient civilizations with artifacts such as Axel Shaft Cup from Luristan (c. 800-700 BC) showcasing exceptional bronze casting techniques or Avalokitesvara statue made of bronze adorned with gold & silver during the 8th-9th century. Finally, admire the Ibex Standard Finial from Luristan (c. 700-600 BC), illustrating how even mundane objects were transformed into artistic masterpieces.
