EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a collection of large, fired clay storage containers, or amphorae, from the Mediterranean area, specifically from Crete and other Greek islands, dating back to around 600 B.C. These ancient vessels were not only used for storing and transporting various goods, but also served as funerary containers in the ancient civilization. The intricately decorated surfaces of these pots bear divine beings and other symbols, believed to protect and accompany the deceased on their journey to the afterlife. The image is part of the impressive collection housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. This renowned museum is home to a vast array of ancient art and artifacts, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Europe and beyond. The amphorae in this photograph are just a small sample of the many treasures that can be found at this esteemed institution. The use of fired clay for burial containers was a common practice in ancient civilizations, particularly in the Mediterranean region. The durable material ensured that the contents remained preserved, while the decorative elements added a sense of beauty and reverence to the funerary rites. The intricate designs on these amphorae, featuring gods and goddesses, mythological creatures, and geometric patterns, continue to captivate and inspire scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the beliefs and values of ancient societies.
