67
This carved marble sculpture (c. 1915), attributed to an anonymous artist, represents an allegory of the Mediterranean. Traces of polychrome suggest its original vibrant appearance, connecting to the region’s rich cultural tapestry. The piece reflects the Mediterranean’s historical role as a cradle of civilization, where diverse cultures and ideas converged. Its allegorical nature invites contemplation on the sea’s enduring influence on art, trade, and cultural exchange.
