EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece, the Phiale. Created between 300-250 BCE by an unknown artist, this shallow bowl was specifically designed for pouring ritual libations. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this piece. The Phiale is made of terracotta calenian relief ware, featuring a striking black color that adds to its allure. Adorned with decorative motifs and symbols of religious significance, it serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece. In this close-up shot, we can appreciate the exquisite depiction of horses pulling a chariot known as a quadriga. This powerful image symbolizes road transport and highlights the importance of transportation in ancient Greek society. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this Phiale stands as an extraordinary example of ancient Greek pottery and sculpture. Its presence in such prestigious art institutions allows visitors to connect with history on a profound level. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of ancient Greek religious rituals—the pouring of libations—an act that held great spiritual significance for their culture.
