Summary
Description: The British Museum, Room 21 - Mausoleum of Halikarnassos
Room 21 houses the sculptures from the Mausoleum of Halikarnassos, the large and elaborate tomb built for Maussollos, ruler of Caria. The Mausoleum was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and has given its name to all monumental tombs. Maussollos died in or about 353BC, though work on the tomb may have begun earlier. The foundations can still be seen in modern Bodrum in Turkey. The Mausoleum was a tall, square structure with relief sculptures arranged in different registers around the podium, a colonnade with free-standing sculptures between the columns and a pyramidal roof crowned by a four-horse chariot. The pieces preserved in the British Museum include two colossal free-standing figures once generally identified as Maussollos and his wife Artemisia, but now thought more probably to be un-named members of the ruling dynasty of Caria. Part of an impressive horse from the chariot group survives, as does a long section of relief frieze showing the battle between Greeks and Amazons.
