A full and colored representation of the portal of Karyatidon of Amphipolis presented Gerasimos Gerolymatos, who in recent months has unveiled entypsiaka designs inspired by the course of the excavations.
With the new representation presented in in his blog (peritexnisologos.blogspot.gr), notes that any longer and he completes his own course with this post.
Please note that the last quarter created by hand four line drawings of the Mound and three major reconstructions, a design and two color, dimensions 64Ch53.
He mentions on:
With today's publication of the second when color image series, closes and a period of three months of daily work. So it took, in order to create by hand four line drawings of the Mound and three major reconstructions, a design and two color, dimensions 64Ch53. One of the color reflects the few rescued colors, While the second is complete, Although hypothetical, based on some logical and possible considerations and taking into account the common tradition of the region in the decoration of Macedonian graves. This also included the continual updating of the findings, the research and the constant corrections and updates, as the projects were "live", under constant evolution and become parallel to the excavation.

Kinda like I imagined, well, that should have been in the days of Flash of the monument. Some differences in the details here and there, do not matter and neither is able to remove a minimum, from the true luxury and grandeur of the Tomb. Of the Tomb, What does;; A «Amfipoliti», a "General", or that his bones were thrown on a pwrino kiboyri; I Tried, If as they say, that a picture is worth a thousand words, to create images that make it comprehensible to the reader's simple great value this historic discovery. To be able to perceive the form and style of and maybe to respond alone to the above question.
I was thinking to write a separate article, where will analyze more my choices on the published representation, but I reserve the right to make shortly to a new post. Today I chose to publish the following my article, that came with your color representation in yesterday's first publication in the world exclusive of the International blog ' Ancient Origins», that deals with themes of archaeology and has millions of readers. I had already promised by September, When the Director of the blog had contacted asking for collaboration with some my article. Thank you very much for the opportunity offered me, in order to make known to a much wider audience, the great value of our cultural heritage and the Mound of Amphipolis. For this reason, the text has another title and a somewhat different style, as directed at an international audience.
