EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medallion featuring a seated deity and a male worshiper from the Iron Age III. Created during the 8th–7th century BC in Urartu, an ancient kingdom that spanned across modern-day eastern Turkey, Armenia, and northwestern Iran, this piece of art is truly awe-inspiring. Crafted with intricate detail using silver and gold foil, this medallion measures approximately 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) in diameter. It belongs to the realm of metalwork ornaments that were highly valued by the kings of Urartu. The kingdom was ruled from its capital city Tushpa, known today as Van. During the early first millennium BC, Urartian fortresses strategically dotted high rock outcrops throughout their territories. These imposing structures dominated the landscape and served to protect the kingdom from rival powers such as the Assyrians. The Liszt Collection's photograph beautifully captures not only the exquisite craftsmanship but also provides us with a glimpse into an ancient civilization's religious practices. The depiction of both a deity and a devoted worshipper on this medallion offers insight into their spiritual beliefs and rituals. As we marvel at this extraordinary artifact through Artokoloro's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how art played an integral role in shaping cultures like Urartu while simultaneously connecting us to our shared human history.
