EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 10th century BC - a styrite Syrian lion-bowl. This exquisite piece, now part of the British Museum's collection, serves as both a stopper for a vase and an elegant cup. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, with intricate details bringing this animal likeness to life. The lion-bowl stands out against the black background in this studio shot, allowing its vibrant colors to shine through. Its rich hues and expertly carved features demonstrate the skill of ancient Syrian artisans. As we gaze upon this object, we are transported back in time to an era when homeware was not only functional but also served as works of art. Syria, known for its historical significance and cultural heritage, is the birthplace of this magnificent lion-bowl. It represents not only the creativity and ingenuity of its creators but also offers us a glimpse into their beliefs and values. Thanks to talented photographer CM Dixon's meticulous attention to detail, every aspect of this artifact is beautifully captured in this image. Mike Dixon's expertise behind the lens ensures that viewers can appreciate every nuance and texture present on the styrite surface. As we admire this stunning photograph print without any commercial connotations or intentions, let us celebrate our shared human history by appreciating such extraordinary artifacts that have survived centuries to tell their stories at renowned institutions like the British Museum.
