Marble molding fragment from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis

Unknown

ca. 117–138 CE · Marble · Greek and Roman Art

The arrangement, scale, and character of the anthemion, egg-and-dart, and bead-and-reel moldings on this fragment correspond almost perfectly to the nearby doorjamb fragment (26.59.11). However, the direction of the foliage of the anthemion is slightly different, and consequently, this fragment likely should be assigned to another portal of the temple.
