EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Tendril Frieze Fragment with Weaponry from Pergamon, Asia Minor (2nd Century AD) This fragment of a tendril frieze, adorned with weaponry, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Greece in Asia Minor during the 2nd century AD. Originating from the ancient city of Pergamon, now modern-day Pergamum in Turkey, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Antikensammlung Berlin (Berlin Antiquities Collection). The intricately carved tendrils, characteristic of the Hellenistic period, weave and intertwine, forming a lush, organic pattern. The tendrils are not only decorative but also serve as a backdrop for an array of weaponry, including helmets, spears, and shields. The juxtaposition of the organic and the martial elements creates a striking contrast, symbolizing the coexistence of nature and warfare in ancient Greek culture. Pergamon, a major cultural and political center in Asia Minor, was renowned for its grand architecture and artistic achievements. This tendril frieze fragment is a prime example of the city's artistic prowess and its significant contribution to the Hellenistic world. The intricate details and the masterful execution of the carvings demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The fragment's age, originating from the 2nd century AD, places it in the Hellenistic period, a time marked by the blending of Greek and Eastern influences. This fusion is evident in the tendril motifs, which have roots in both Greek and Eastern art, and the weaponry, which reflects the military might of the ancient city-states. In summary, this tendril frieze fragment with weaponry from Pergamon, Asia Minor, is a captivating piece of ancient Greek art that showcases the city's artistic achievements during the Hellenistic period. Its intricate details, masterful execution, and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history and art.
