Abstract
İznik Arkeoloji Müzesi’nde korunan ve olasılıkla Nikaia’da bulunan bir kadın torsosu makalenin konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Başı dışında oldukça iyi durumda günümüze ulaşmayı başarabilen heykel, bir kaideye yaslanır şekilde ayakta durmaktadır. Duruşu, elbisenin giyim tarzı ve kıvrımların işçiliği tipik Helenistik Çağ özellikleri gösteren torso, tip olarak Philiskos’un musalarından Polyhymnia’ya benzemektedir. Nikaia Musası, hem sağ elinde yer alan olası rulo, hem salt kalça etrafını örten ipek manto, hem de sol elin duruş şekli ile Polyhymnia tipinin yeni bir varyantı ve Philiskos musalarına en yakın tarihli örnek olmalıdır. Diğer bir ifade ile heykelimiz, İÖ 130-120 arasına tarihlenen Archelaos Kabartması’na göre biraz daha erken bir tarihtendir. Böylece orijinali İÖ 2. yüzyılın ortalarında yaratılmış olan tipin yeni bir varyantı daha literatüre kazandırılmıştır. Bu yeni varyant, özellikle Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi musa lahitlerinde tercih edilmiştir.
The subject of the article is a female torso which was found possibly in Nikaia and is currently preserved at the Iznik Archaeological Museum. The sculpture, which has been able to reach today in a quite good condition except for the head, stands in a leaning position on a pedestal. It’s position, the style of the dress and the work of the folds are typical of the Hellenistic period, and the torso is similar to Polyhymnia, from the muses of Philiskos. Nikaian Muse, should be a new variant of the Polyhymnia type and the closest example to the Philiskos muses, with the possible roll in the right hand, with a silk mantle covering only the hip side and also with the position of the left hand. In other words, this sculpture belongs to a slightly earlier time than the Archelaus relief dating to 130-120 BC. Thus, one more new variant of the type originally created in the middle of the 2nd century BC has been added to the literature. This new variant was especially preferred in the muse sarcophagi of the Roman Imperial period.
