EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient figure of a man with horns, dating back to the 10th to 7th centuries BC, is an intriguing artifact from the Near East. The exact origin of this bronze sculpture is unknown, but it is believed to have come from the Luristan region, which is now part of modern-day Iran. The man is depicted with a powerful build and is holding a pair of swords, suggesting a connection to warfare and weaponry. The presence of the horns on his head is a common motif in ancient Middle Eastern art, and their meaning is a subject of ongoing debate among scholars. Some believe they represent the divine or supernatural, while others suggest they signify strength or power. This figurine, with its rich history and intriguing symbolism, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Near East. It is now on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
