Editor: Here we have a reproduction of a Gold Mycenaean Disc, likely by Emile Gilliéron or his son. It’s quite small, only about 5 centimeters across. The circular patterns make me feel a bit dizzy! What do you make of this piece? Curator: The dizzying effect is interesting, isn’t it? I see it as a microcosm of the universe, those spirals echoing constellations, or maybe even the swirling depths of our own minds. It is easy to project grand ideas onto such an object, knowing it was precious enough to be reproduced. Editor: So, even a copy can carry the weight of the original's purpose? Curator: Absolutely! It reminds us that even echoes can resonate with the truth and beauty of the past. Editor: That’s a really beautiful way of putting it, I learned a lot.
