EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable work of art, a carved knife handle in the form of a cat nestled within the branches of a tree. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are immediately evident, drawing viewers into this ancient masterpiece from Smyrna. The delicate ivory material adds to the allure, allowing for subtle nuances and textures that bring life to each element. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to another creature depicted in relief around the trunk - either a wolf or dog. This additional motif enhances the overall composition, creating an intriguing narrative between these two animals. The juxtaposition of the feline figure perched high above and its canine counterpart circling below evokes curiosity and wonderment. What story lies behind their presence? Is it symbolic or purely decorative? These questions linger as we marvel at this unique creation. Preserved within the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, this piece serves as a testament to Greek artistry and creativity throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate this extraordinary artwork even from afar. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by nature's beauty intertwined with mythical creatures, this print is sure to ignite your imagination and transport you back in time to ancient Smyrna.
