Statuette of Nemesis

by: Jordan Bellis, James Wong


We made a formal analysis of the statuette by analyzing the vibrant color of the statuette and how the griffin’s posture and stance added to the tone of the piece as a whole. Additionally, we discussed why the sculptor had used such a bright blue color for the griffin and why she was placed with a talon on the wheel. However we did not discuss the historical context of the statuette. If we had more time, we would liked to have discussed the potential reasons the sculptor had created this and the underlying meanings of it.
