Summary

Description

Museo Regionale Archeologico, Palermo. Archaic Metope from Selinunte.

English: A stone relief from Selinunte, a Greek-Phoenician colony in Sicily, 6th-7th centries BCE. Between the bull's legs two dolphins, representing the sea beneath him. Oriental charactaristics such as his curly hair above his eyes, paralel lines around his eyes and on his neck, the tail over the calf and the face which (like all sacred animals in the Levant) faces the observer, are all pointing influence of Levantine art.
עברית: תבליט אבן של אירופה על השור, המאות ה־7–6 לפנה"ס, מסלינוס, קולוניה יוונית ופיניקית בסיציליה. בין רגלי השור שני דולפינים המסמלים את הים שמתחתיו. המאפיינים המזרחיים כגון תלתלי הפר מעל עיניו, הקפת עיניו בפסים מקבילים, הקווים המתעקמים המקבילים על צווארו וזנבו המועבר על השוק; כמו רוב החיות המקודשות באומנות לבנטינית, מסתכל פונה השור אל המתבונן; כל אלה מצביעים על השפעה אומנותית מהלבנט. ראו: מיכאל אבי־יונה, תולדות האמנות הקלאסית, מוסד ביאליק, 2004, עמ' 38–40.
