EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Dragon head finial from the Seljuk period, dating back to the 11th-14th century. Crafted in bronze by the Eastern Mediterranean School, this mythical creature's metallic jaws and intricate details are truly awe-inspiring. The sculpture measures 12.5x3.5x10.2 cm and is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The dragon's fierce expression and powerful presence make it a remarkable piece of art that transports viewers into a world of ancient mythology. Its finely sculpted head with multiple mouths captures the essence of these legendary creatures that have fascinated cultures throughout history. During the Seljuk period, such dragon finials were commonly used as decorative elements on architectural structures or ceremonial objects, symbolizing protection and strength against evil forces. This photograph beautifully captures every aspect of this mythological creature's face - its sharp teeth, piercing eyes, and majestic horns - highlighting both its fearsome nature and artistic craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this extraordinary sculpture, we can't help but marvel at how artists from centuries ago brought mythical beings to life through their skillful hands. This dragon head finial stands as a testament to human creativity across time and serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with these fantastical creatures.
