EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving of a terracotta tablet excavated at Babylon offers a glimpse into the daily life of ancient Mesopotamia. Dated back to the 19th century, this piece showcases a large dog and its attendant in intricate detail. The servant depicted in the engraving is seen attentively caring for the majestic canine, highlighting the close bond between humans and animals even centuries ago. The maid servant appears to be dutifully tending to her responsibilities, embodying qualities of loyalty and dedication that transcend time. As we study this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era where domestic life revolved around mutual respect and cooperation between master and servant. The presence of the dog adds an element of warmth and companionship to the scene, reminding us of the universal love for pets that has endured throughout history. Through this beautifully preserved engraving, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage of Babylon and the skilled artisans who created such remarkable works of art. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity, offering us a window into a world long gone but not forgotten.
