Geometric: Dipylon Amphora
(soft music) Voiceover: We're in the National Archeological Museum in Athens looking at the Dipylan Vase.발음듣기
Voiceover: The so-called Dipylan Vase because it was found near what would later become the Dipylan Gate in Athens and a cemetery right near there.발음듣기
We see a narrative scene and this is something that we see emerging more and more in the late geometric period.발음듣기
Voiceover: Well look at the vase, it's covered from its foot all the way to the lip of its mouth with sharp edge geometric patterns.발음듣기
Voiceover: We do see black bands around the base where the neck meets the body and at the very lip of the vase.발음듣기
Voiceover: But the most interesting part is the fact that we have emerging here representations of animals and even of people.발음듣기
Voiceover: Below that we see what are either goats or gazelles perhaps or some people have said deer as well.발음듣기
Voiceover: But notice in both cases with the deer and with the goats, it's really a repeated motif so that it is a continuation of that pattern that is so much a part even of the non-figurative areas of the pot.발음듣기
Voiceover: It's true in the bodies of the animals are reduced to geometric shapes, each one is exactly identical to the one before and the one after and they're almost easy to miss as animal figures.발음듣기
Voiceover: Now we know it's a woman because she is wearing a skirt and different genders were identified in that way and she's lying on a funeral [bure] with a shroud held above her.발음듣기
Some people have even interpreted the little M-shaped patterns falling between the figures as tears.발음듣기
Now the Greeks had a very specific way of firing pots to get the red ground and the black figures above it.발음듣기
So slip is fine particles of clay that are suspended in water and then painted on the surface of the pot.발음듣기
Now this was very difficult because when you painted on that slip it was the same color as the dry clay before it was fired.발음듣기
Voiceover: The kiln was then allowed to cool somewhat and then oxygen was allowed back into the kiln and then what happens is, the parts of the vase that are not painted return to their warm, red color and only the parts that were painted remain black.발음듣기
And so you can imagine how difficult this was to control in the ancient world before thermometers.발음듣기
Voiceover: Well the person who actually fashioned this pot produced it on a wheel but had to produce it in sections and then fit these sections together seamlessly.발음듣기
