Corinth Greece Lion Rattle Shape Terracotta Recumbent
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece, specifically Corinth, dating back to around 600-575 B. C. The object in focus is a terracotta rattle crafted skillfully in the shape of a recumbent lion. Measuring at H: 5.1 x W: 2.7 x L: 10.1 cm (2 x 1 1/16 x 3 15/16 in. ), this miniature masterpiece exudes both elegance and mystery. The artist behind this creation remains unknown, yet their talent shines through every intricate detail of the sculpture. The lion's majestic form is captured with precision and grace, as it rests peacefully on its side. Its serene expression and relaxed posture invite us into the world of ancient Greece, where such objects held significant cultural and symbolic value. Crafted from terracotta, an earthy clay material commonly used during that period, this rattle would have served not only as a decorative piece but also as a functional instrument for entertainment or ritual purposes. As we gaze upon this photograph print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic prowess of ancient Greek craftsmen who sought to immortalize nature's most regal creature – the lion – within their creations. This exquisite rattle stands as a testament to their ingenuity and reverence for beauty that transcends time itself.
