EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient terracotta ornament, showcased at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the Mediterranean area. The intricately designed tile, adorned with a horseman riding a galloping horse and a griffin, is a testament to the advanced architectonic and artistic skills of the ancient civilizations that once thrived in Europe. The horseman, depicted in a heroic pose, is believed to be influenced by the ancient Greek and Etruscan cultures, particularly those of Corinth and Sicily. The griffin, a fantastical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, was a common motif in ancient mythology, symbolizing strength, power, and divine protection. The ornament, decorated with polychrome and polychromed relief, is a stunning example of the intricate friezes and reliefs that adorned the temples and houses of the ancient world. The terracotta material, which was commonly used for decorative purposes due to its availability and durability, was often painted in vibrant colors to enhance the visual impact of the ornament. The tile's age is not definitively known, but it is believed to date back to ancient times, adding to its historical significance. The intricate design and the skillful execution of the terracotta material make this ornament a valuable addition to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's extensive collection of ancient art. This magnificent piece of art, with its mythological creatures and intricate decoration, continues to inspire awe and fascination, transporting us back to a time when gods and legends were an integral part of daily life.
