EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning plate with a hunting scene from the ancient tale of Bahram Gur and Azadeh. Created by the Sasanian School in the 5th century, this silver and mercury gilded masterpiece measures 4.1x20.1x20.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The plate itself is a roundel dish adorned with intricate embossed details that bring life to the story depicted on its surface. The repousse technique used here adds depth and texture, while the lavish gilt accents enhance its regal appeal. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness King Bahram Gur displaying his exceptional archery skills as he hunts gazelles alongside his loyal companion Azadeh. With bow and arrow in hand, he gracefully aims at his prey with precision and grace. The Middle Eastern influence is evident through elements such as camels and horns adorning the composition, reflecting both Iranian and Mesopotamian cultural motifs. This royal vessel serves as an artifact of great historical significance, representing not only power but also artistic mastery. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of metalwork, we are transported back in time to an era where kings ruled with authority and prowess on display during grand hunting expeditions. It stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Sassanian artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
