EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-finished chromolithograph showcases a stunning juxtaposition of Egyptian and Greek pottery, highlighting the rich cultural exchange that occurred between these ancient civilizations. The centerpiece of the image is an Egyptian antefix, a decorative element used in ancient architecture, featuring intricate hieroglyphics and the image of a beetle, a symbol of the god Osiris. Surrounding the antefix are various Greek pots, including an amphora and a rhyton in the shape of a cow's head. The rhyton, a type of drinking vessel, was often decorated with animal forms and used in religious rituals. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of the pottery is evident in the delicate lines and vibrant colors, making this a true masterpiece of ancient art. The image is taken from Ris Paquet's "Histoire Générale de la Faience Ancienne," published in Paris in 1874, a testament to the enduring fascination with the artistic achievements of these ancient civilizations.
