EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable marble base of dedication from the 4th century BC, discovered in the heart of the Athenian Agora. A testament to ancient Greece's rich history and military prowess, this base commemorates victories in a mock cavalry battle contest. The intricate reliefs adorning three sides depict a horseman galloping towards an imposing tripod, exuding strength and determination. Etched on the fourth side are not only the names of those triumphant dedicators but also that of Bryavis, the skilled sculptor who painstakingly crafted this monument. Standing as a symbol of honor and achievement, it once supported a magnificent bronze tripod offered by these victorious individuals. As we gaze upon this archaeological marvel, we are transported back to an era long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and craftsmanship. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate every detail etched into its surface – from the dynamic portrayal of equestrian skill to the meticulous rendering of each figure. Within these walls lies an unspoken narrative that speaks volumes about human representation in ancient times. Though devoid of people today, this relic echoes with tales of valor and camaraderie among army soldiers who fought for glory on distant battlefields. Let us immerse ourselves in this snapshot from antiquity – a window into our past where animal representation intertwines with male likeness amidst an atmosphere charged with historical significance.
