Bonds

Two figures in an embrace. The sculpting of the bodies with an agricultural tool (harrow) symbolises the need to cultivate relationships for the blossoming of love. The work stresses the power of companionate or brotherly love. It is placed near the archaic complex of brothers Dermyos and Kitylos (n. 56). The visitor can see both works simultaneously if he/she stands in Exhibition Room 8, at the axis of the opening towards Exhibition Room 9.
