1. Title: Maiden in Wedding Adornment from Kymi, Asia Minor (100-50 BC) This statuette showcases a maiden from the ancient Ionian colonies of Asia Minor, adorned in the traditional wedding attire of the region during the late Hellenistic period (100-50 BC). Discovered in Kymi, also known as Cyme or Phriconis, in modern-day Turkey, this exquisite piece is now part of the esteemed Antikensammlung Berlin (Berlin Antiquities Collection). The maiden's figure is depicted with a serene expression, her youthful face framed by a delicate hat adorned with intricate floral motifs. Her long, flowing hair is styled in elegant curls, cascading down her back. The maiden's dress, made of fine cloth, is richly decorated with ornamental trimmings, evoking the opulence of the era. Her shoes, with their intricate designs, are a testament to the meticulous attention to detail given to every aspect of the bride's attire. The statuette's fine details and lifelike features suggest that it was crafted with great care and skill, likely from clay. The maiden's age and the intricacy of her adornments hint at her privileged status within the community. This precious artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of ancient Asia Minor, a time when Ionian colonies flourished under the influence of Greek civilization. The Maiden in Wedding Adornment from Kymi stands as a testament to the enduring allure of ancient art, inviting us to explore the history and stories that lie hidden within the depths of time.
