EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - a furniture plaque carved in relief with a lion-headed figure. Created during the 8th-7th century B. C. , this exquisite ivory artifact is attributed to the Neo-Assyrian civilization. Measuring 10.5x5.6 cm, this intricate carving can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. It originated from Fort Shalmaneser at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu) in Mesopotamia and was stored within storerooms built by King Ashurnasirpal II. The craftsmanship displayed on this plaque is truly awe-inspiring. The detailed depiction of a lion-headed figure, surrounded by various decorative elements such as trees and lotus flowers, reflects the artistic prowess of its creators. This artwork exemplifies the rich cultural heritage and sophisticated techniques employed by ancient Middle Eastern civilizations. Through its archaeological significance, this relic offers valuable insights into the religious beliefs and royal symbolism prevalent during that era. Its association with deities like Sekhmet suggests connections between Assyrian culture and Egyptian influences. As we admire this masterpiece today, it serves as a testament to human creativity across time and reminds us of our shared history with these ancient civilizations that once thrived along the Tigris River in present-day Iraq.
