Summary
[edit]DescriptionScissors turkey.jpg |
This picture was taken at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City in 2006 by Yannick Trottier. The exhibit was labelled as follows: 39.2.2 Perhaps 2nd century A.D. Said to be from Trabzon, northeastern Turkey (ancient Trebizond) Bronze inlaid with silver and black copper(?) Rogers Fund 1939 (39.2.2) This piece is remarkable for its rich inlays. Both sides of each blade are decorated with three registers of figures. Whoever created the design clearly had a sense of humour; when the shears are closed, the top register brings a dog face-to-face with a cat on one side and a lion with a lion on the other. The combination of vague iconography, attenuated drawing, and dour expressions marks the shears as an "Egyptianizing" rather than an actual Egyptian style. Perhaps they served a ritual function at an Isis sanctuary at ancient Trebizond on the Black Sea. |
