The sculpture portrays the God of Harvest, Dionysus, with his loyal satyr follower, Pan. A considerable amount of detail when into the carving of Dionysus; the multiple grapevines in his hair, his ceremonial staff Thyrsus, the goatskins and the cup of wine he’s holding are all symbols of Dionysus. The composition is very asymmetrical, and creates a contrapposto arrangement, which is distinctly Grecian (Gardner). It was carved out of beautiful fine marble, which also had another purpose in the way of making this piece of art last for many years. Along with the tree trunk between the two men providing support at the base, and the elongated arms providing more structural stability. The God’s head is even reinforced by his hair to make sure the head doesn’t break off. This sculpture is visually and aesthetically pleasing, but doesn’t serve a useful function, like textiles or furniture. Therefore, it is considered a figurative piece of art, which art that is very clearly modeled after real object or person(s), and is therefore representational

Then on her head, there are vines that create a band around the top of her head maybe used to signify the festival that was going on during that time.

Overall, I found the sculpture to represent the generic idea of a Camillus in ancient Rome. The sculpture did a fine job symbolizing how the figures face, short hair, and body would be portrayed as an average human boy. Additionally, I think that most people would portray this figure to be a young boy from ancient Rome, particularly because of his Romanist robe and sandals.

This art includes Mantiklos Apollo, it is one of the masterwork of that time. Mantiklos dedicated the bronze statuette to Apollo and it probably represents the god.

The Muse or Terpsichore is considered one of the most mysterious and realistic pieces of art in the Carlos Museum on Emory's campus. The Muse is a statue of a woman who is made out of marble. The statue lacks arms which adds to its mystery. Moreover, the marble itself gives the statue a rich and elegant design. As for the usage, the statute was possibly used as a decoration for homes around Greece because the statue is small and portable compared to a human size statue. The statue also has the features of a goddess, which could of indicated that she was possibly used as a protection or luck charm as well. The goddess look comes from the facial expression and the pose, which adds to the statue’s power and leadership. The woman’s face is smooth and soft, which adds to its beauty.

When examining the statue, there is an old woman bent and weary. Her posture helps clue us in, with her age and the state of her health.

Derived from the Greek word for water, the hydria was a clay jar used for the collection and storage of water during the advanced construction of aqueducts and fountain houses in Athens, rather than wells. Similar to others of its time, our hydria is made with terracotta and black paint. Terracotta, Italian for “baked earth,” is a ceramic (glazed or unglazed) where the body is fired and porous. While not watertight, surface-burnishing and paint or glaze can decrease its porousness and seal the material to become impermeable. The earliest vessels typically have a wide body and broadly rounded shoulder. Our hydria is approximately 17.5 inches tall (to rim) and 16 inches wide (diameter with handles). It has three handles consisting of two different shapes: A large vertical handle on the back for carrying the hydria when empty and for dipping and

Not only for what they could do for them, but also for what they looked like. They didn’t see the weight and size as a grotesque thing; but more as a thing of beauty. In

The relief sculpture, a phenomenal archetype of ceramic art, produced purely through the usage of a human’s most basic machinery, fingers and thumbs, and through the most elemental material - wet earth, has a porous, coarse and rugged texture. Although the artwork does have a degree of heaviness to it, terra-cotta and clay do not have a high density as a result of the material’s porousness. The artwork is in a moderate hue of orange with a slight blend of tan, a pale tone of the color brown, a color typical to artifacts and relics made of clay and earthen materials. The sculpture is an example of a high relief, which is found throughout Hindu artworks, although not as frequently as mid reliefs/ mezzo-rilievo. The use of single material throughout the artwork and the singular color adds unity to the artwork. Although the artwork is not symmetrical it seems that the artwork would have looked solid, settled and balanced if it had not endured damage over time. The majorly similar halves with 2 devas/devis hovering, one at the bottom and one at the top, along with the giant deity right in the middle, seemed to have imparted balance to the artwork.
