The scene in relief
occupies a face of the perfectly circular disk, it represents four figures
speaking. The main ones are confronted one of in front of the other one,
one to the masculine right, the other one to the feminine left, the masculine
figure of juvenile aspect, this sitting above a winged car, of which the
helm stands out getting up in a snake figure, and it takes in the left
a field of spikes, and in the right a padera, the very rich feminine figure
takes lifted with the left a brand and with the right a vertical element
that can be an OZ.
The figures lateral figures that complete the scene, in
the left, Possible Masculine (The brass is achieved a little, in the right
wrapped in a wide cloth and with the hand it takes an object that is not
distinguished the otra,a the right behind the car a woman with bun behind
the head and the dress in vertical pleats and I release cloth, he/she offers
with the left a wheat field and with the right lifted up he/she seems to
greet.
The composition of the scene and the quality take the
identification from a relative moment to the myth of Trittolomeo that the
Greeks consider of step between Demetra and the men of the Don of the wheat:

She
represents the youth's going, in the presence of Demetra and Kore, like
it was of use in the final of the Archaic time, also in the presentations
of the ceramic, the plan where the four figures are they are decorated
with series of four palms and with small leaves dedera and of which I intern
and external it takes two circles of small pearls.
Is the foot constituted of a figure feminil dressed in
long I inhabit adherent to the body and cloth, does the figure have in
the hand an object (a lotus flower?), while he/she has in the left hand
the cloth, when joining the everything two figures of Winged Amorini they
are, and is the base simple, rectangular with four paws to feline form.
The outline is almost identical to a mirror of EGINA conserved
in the Museum of Arts of it dies Boston. The period is to the final of
the Archaic century, of the Greek World, in particular Attica, and the
reason of the same one takes to think and to date of the end of the century
I SAW and the beginnings V century B.C.
The origin is very difficult of determining, because they
lack data of the discovery point and the topic that it tries and the style
insinuates the origin Attico, the period in which you/they needed to favor
a politics for the market search for the wheat provision.
Also, for the matter he/she Skates ago to think of discovery
after a shipwreck. |
