EDITORS COMMENTS
This Double Ram Protome, dating between the 13th and 8th centuries B.C., is an enigmatic artifact hailing from the ancient Near East, specifically from Iran, Persia, or the Middle East. The exact origin and creator of this masterpiece remain unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The Double Ram Protome is a bronze cast sculpture, showcasing the head and upper body of two rams, intricately molded as a single entity. The rams are depicted with their horns intertwined, symbolizing strength, power, and unity. The detailed texture of the bronze, with its rich, golden hue, highlights the skillful craftsmanship of the artist. This ancient artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Near East, showcasing the advanced metalworking techniques and artistic sensibilities of the time. The Double Ram Protome was likely used as a decorative element in religious or royal contexts, reflecting the importance of animals, particularly rams, in ancient Near Eastern mythology and symbolism. Today, this precious artifact is part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The Double Ram Protome is a reminder of the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and the timeless beauty of art.
