EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze sculpture of the Hippocampus, dating back to 400-300 BC. Crafted by an ancient Thracian artist, this exquisite piece measures approximately 6.50 cm in height, 12.00 cm in width, and 1.10 cm in depth. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, it was acquired through the J. H. Wade Fund. The Hippocampus is a mythical creature deeply rooted in Greek mythology and often depicted as a sea horse with forelimbs resembling horse hooves and hind limbs ending with fish-like tails. This brooch-like representation beautifully captures its intricate details and elegant form. As a symbol of power and grace associated with water deities such as Poseidon or Neptune, the Hippocampus holds great significance within ancient folklore. Its presence evokes feelings of enchantment and wonder. This particular artwork exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era while also offering us insight into Thracian culture and beliefs surrounding mythological creatures. With its timeless appeal transcending centuries, this bronze masterpiece continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide who appreciate both its historical context and artistic excellence.
