EDITORS COMMENTS
The Parthenon Frieze, a masterpiece of ancient Greek art, is captured in this photo print. Created by the renowned artist Phidias during the 5th century BC, it depicts a Sacrifice Procession with Ram. This high-relief pentelic marble sculpture was originally designed to adorn the upper part of the Parthenon's naos, or inner chamber. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of this artwork showcase the talent and creativity of Phidias. The scene portrays a ceremonial procession where individuals are seen offering sacrifices to deities, accompanied by musicians and participants dressed in traditional attire. Currently housed at the British Museum in London as part of the Elgin Marbles collection, this artifact serves as an important link to ancient Greece's rich cultural heritage. Its presence provides visitors with an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also gain insights into religious practices and rituals from that era. Through this photo print, viewers can marvel at the fine relief carving techniques employed by Phidias. The sheep depicted in exquisite detail symbolizes sacrifice and devotion within Greek society.
