EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three exquisite East Greek plastic perfume-pots from the 7th century BC. Each pot is uniquely shaped, with one resembling a crouching monkey, another resembling a warrior's helmet, and the third depicting a sandaled foot. The intricate details of these ancient ceramic vessels are truly remarkable. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK, these pots offer a glimpse into the artistic mastery of ancient Greek craftsmen. The delicate molding technique used to create these vessels highlights their significance as both functional objects and works of art. One cannot help but be drawn to the pot in the form of a crouching monkey. Its playful yet elegant design captures the imagination and evokes curiosity about its purpose in ancient Greek culture. The inclusion of a warrior's helmet-shaped pot suggests that perfumes held within it may have been associated with strength or protection. Meanwhile, the depiction of a sandaled foot hints at its connection to daily life and perhaps even rituals related to travel or adventure. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded that art has always played an essential role in human history – not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a means to understand past civilizations and their beliefs.
