WILD WOMAN Sculpture

The collection "Baroque in the Flesh: Beautiful Women of Antiquity" is designed to highlight the beauty and strength of female greatness through the prism of historical and legendary figures. It shows that even in ancient times, women possessed unsurpassed beauty and strength, which are fully compatible with the aesthetics and luxury of the Baroque style. It was carved from the mammoth tusk Height 6 cm. March 2004. Amazons - a legendary tribe of women-warriors who according ancient Greeks lived in Minor Asia, on the Northeast seacoast of Black Sea were they created a belligerent state. Amazons battle the Greeks at Themiscrya. It was probably the final war with the Greeks. After a defeat in Themiscrya the Amazons are taken captive on Greek ships. They successfully overtake the Greek captors and sail aimlessly until they reach Lake Maoetis (Sea of Azov), where they eventually marry and fight alongside their Scythian male mates. They form a new Sauromatian culture. Amazons are the first to mount horses. The Amazons were originally based around the River Tanais (Don), which was named for the son of Lysippe, one of their queens. I chose a fossil mammoth tusk, which with its antiquity sends us back to the retrospective of our human history. Mammoth ivory has a very warm creamy shade that best conveys the beauty of a young body.
