EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a remarkable Sassanian dish from the 6th century, showcasing King Khosrau I Anushirvan in the midst of dignitaries. The silver-gilt dish, now housed in the prestigious Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, is a true testament to the opulence and grandeur of this ancient era. The image showcases the intricate details of this royal crockery, with its gilded edges and exquisite craftsmanship. Against a black background, it exudes an aura of regality and power. The dish itself serves as both an artifact and a work of art, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Sassanian royalty. King Khosrau I Anushirvan ruled from 531 to 579 AD and was known for his wise governance and patronage of arts. In this image, he stands tall amongst his fellow dignitaries, emanating authority and grace. Their presence adds depth to the composition while hinting at their roles within his court. Captured by CM Dixon's lens with precision and finesse, this studio shot brings out every minute detail on the surface of the dish. From its shimmering silver to delicate engravings that tell stories long forgotten, each element contributes to its overall allure. This print is not just a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time when kings reigned supreme amidst lavish surroundings. It is truly an extraordinary piece that deserves admiration for its artistic brilliance
