| 説明 | Coria (Corbridge) Roman Museum.The Corbridge Lanx. A copy.The Corbridge Lanx is the name of a Roman silver dish found near Corbridge, in 1735. Once part of a large Roman treasure, only this remains from the original find. The British Museum eventually purchased it in 1993.The large silver tray is rectangular in shape and is engraved with mythological scenes from antiquity. Designed either as a serving dish for Roman banquets or as a ritual tray for sacrifices, this particularly extravagant example is similar in style to several platters from the Mildenhall Treasure and can be dated to the 4th Century AD. The main scene on the dish shows the god Apollo at the entrance to a shrine, clasping a bow with a lyre at his feet. To his left enters the goddesses Artemis and Athena in conversation. The two female deities in the centre have not been conclusively determined. In front of the gods is depicted an altar, flanked by Artemis's hound, a fallen stag and a griffin, a mythical animal often associated with Apollo. [Wikipedia] |
