EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Game Piece Scene Life Apollonius Tyre ca 1170" takes us back to medieval times in Cologne, Germany. The artwork, crafted from German walrus ivory, measures an impressive overall size of 1 16 x 2 3/16 x 5/8 inches (02.56 x 16 cm). The piece itself represents a precursor to the popular game of backgammon known as tables during that era. It beautifully illustrates a late antique legend surrounding Apollonius of Tyre and his miraculously resurrected wife. In this scene, we see two men standing at the lower part of the image, attentively watching over a coffin buried at sea. The intricate details on the ivory carving bring life to their expressions and gestures. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, it transports us to a time where legends were cherished and art was used as a medium for storytelling. The craftsmanship involved in creating such delicate ivories is truly awe-inspiring. Artokoloro has masterfully captured this moment in history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of the artwork but also its cultural significance. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a window into our past and reminds us of how art can transcend time and connect us with ancient tales that continue to captivate our imagination today
