This Hellenistic Gold Bowl is a remarkable
piece
that comes from the Hellenistic period,
which is
characterized by great transformation.
Many
artistic changes took place during this
time, with
the Hellenistic period being defined by
more
drama, emotion and decoration. Craftsmen
also
began creating pottery that matched the
opulence of the new ruling class. The
refined
gold finish in this bowl along with the
extensive
details on the handles demonstrate the
interest
in decoration and luxury in this heightened
period.
