Greek

The entity designated as Greek was active approximately between 850 BCE and 800 BCE. This period corresponds to the terminal phase of the Greek Dark Ages, known primarily through surviving small-scale functional objects and decorative arts. The period designation refers to items crafted within the culture of ancient Greece.

Documentation reflects the existence of approximately twenty items attributed to this cultural origin and time period in institutional databases. Five specific works are identified, including the functional item Bow Fibula and four documented examples of a Biconical Bead. These objects, often related to metalwork or personal adornment, provide crucial insight into the material culture and craftsmanship prevalent in Greece during the ninth century BCE.

The historical importance of these artifacts is established by their inclusion in major institutional holdings. Works attributed to this period are held in prominent museum collections, notably the Art Institute of Chicago. While the specific artisan or workshop remains anonymous, these surviving works are documented and preserved to a high, museum-quality standard. Today, scholarly resources often provide downloadable artwork or high-quality prints for educational study, ensuring the record of ancient Greece remains accessible.
