ANKARA ANADOLU MEDENIYETLERI MÜZESI’NDEKI HARPOKRATES-TEMPORA ANNI FIGÜRLÜ MERMER BIR MASA AYAUI

Ankara Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesi’ne 2017 yılında teslim edilmiş olan ve literatürde “monopodia” olarak adlandırılan eser gurubuna giren mermerden yapılmış figürlü masa ayagı, bugüne kadar yayınlanmış olan benzer diger figürlü masa ayakları arasında hem işçiligi hem de korunmuşlugu açısından öne çıkmaktadır. Roma Dönemi’ne ait olan bu mermer masa ayagı, Anadolu’daki Roma Dönemi yaşantısının günümüze kadar ulaşmış estetik anlayışını ve bu anlayışı yansıtan lüks düzeydeki mobilyaları günümüze taşıyan örnekler arasındadır. Masa ayagının ön yüzünde konu olarak seçilen figürün alegorik ve senkrtik anlatımı ise bu örnegi; Anadolu, Ege Adaları ve Kıta Yunanistan başta olmak üzere tüm Akdeniz cografyasında bulunmuş diger mermer figürlü masa ayakları arasında daha da öne çıkartacak niteliktedir.

A MARBLE TABLE SUPPORT WITH THE FIGURE OF HARPOCRATES-TEMPORA ANNI IN THE MUSEUM OF ANKARA ANATOLIAN CIVILIZATIONS

The artifact delivered to the Museum of Ankara Anatolian Civilizations in 2017 and known as "monopodia" in the archaeology literature is similar to other artifacts of notable craftsmanship and preservation exhibited as table supports. The artifact belongs to the Roman Period, as identifiable by comparison with examples reflecting the aesthetic perspective of the lifestyle of Roman Period in Anatolia which favored luxury furniture. The allegoric and syncretic way of representing the chosen figures along the front of the table support is informative, relating this example to other marble table supports of the same period from the areas of Anatolia, Aegean Islands, and Ancient Greece, and also the broader region of the Mediterranean Sea.
