EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze casting, titled "Fitting," dates back to the 5th to 4th century BC, making it an ancient relic from the Near East, specifically from the Middle East or Iranian culture. The exact origin and creator of this masterpiece remain unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The sculpture depicts a pair of horses, intricately detailed in their muscular forms and anatomical features. Each horse's head is turned towards the other, as if in a lifelike interaction. The horses' manes and tails are delicately rendered, with the artist's mastery of the metal medium evident in the smooth, flowing lines. The horses are shown in a fitting, a traditional Middle Eastern harness used for riding and warfare. The harness is meticulously crafted, with intricate patterns and details that show the artist's attention to detail and historical accuracy. The horses' backs are adorned with the harness, their bodies poised as if ready to move. This bronze casting is a testament to the artistic achievements of the ancient world, showcasing the advanced metalworking techniques of the time. It is a rare and valuable addition to any art collection or museum, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East and Iran. Currently, this bronze casting is on exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to the museum's impressive collection of historical and contemporary art from around the world. The sculpture's placement in a reputable museum ensures its preservation and continued appreciation by scholars, art enthusiasts, and visitors alike.
