EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Anahita Vessel" created by the Sasanian School between 300-500 AD. Crafted from cast, raised, repoussé, chased and gilted silver, this masterpiece measures 18.5x11.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The vessel depicts a group of dancers who hold great significance within their cultural context. These graceful figures are believed to represent sacred images associated with the Zoroastrian religion practiced by the Sasanians. Alternatively, they may also depict bacchantes - devoted followers of Bacchus, the Roman wine god who enjoyed immense popularity in the Near East during that time. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship evident in this piece truly highlight its artistic value. The delicate gilding adds a touch of opulence to an already mesmerizing composition. Generously gifted to the museum by Katharine Holden Thayer, this Iranian treasure continues to captivate art enthusiasts from around the world as it offers a glimpse into ancient traditions and beliefs. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this remarkable artwork through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and historical significance for generations to come.
