EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 6th century BC askos, or ancient Greek ceramic vessel, hails from the ancient Iberian city of Empuries in Catalonia, Spain. The askos, which translates to "jar" in Greek, is currently housed in the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia in Girona. This exquisite piece of ancient art dates back to the Greek colonization of the Iberian Peninsula, a period marked by cultural exchange between the Greek world and the indigenous peoples of the region. The askos is decorated with intricate ornamentation, featuring a central figure of a god or mythological creature, possibly Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater. The figure is depicted with an animal, likely a panther or leopard, at his feet, symbolizing his power and strength. The vessel's form is gracefully curved, with two handles in the shape of animal heads, adding to its ornamental appeal. The askos is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the ancient Greeks and the Iberian people, who lived in harmony during this period. The vessel's preservation in the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia allows us to appreciate the intricacies of ancient Greek art and the historical significance of Empuries as a crossroads of ancient civilizations. This beautiful askos is a reminder of the enduring influence of ancient Greece on European art and culture.
