EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Feline-Handled Incense Burner, a remarkable piece of cast bronze artwork dating back to around 100 BC. Created by the talented artisans of the Iranian School, this incense burner measures 11.6x30 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The incense burner features intricately designed handles shaped like majestic felines, possibly leopards or cheetahs, adding an air of elegance and mystique to this ancient artifact. Its historical significance lies in its association with the Parthians, a formidable empire that rivaled Rome from 100 BC until approximately AD 200. Interestingly enough, nearby in the gallery are silver vessels from the Sasanians who succeeded the Parthians as rulers of Iran. This juxtaposition allows visitors to appreciate both artistic styles and cultural shifts over time. Acquired through funds provided by J. H. Wade Fund for purchase purposes, this extraordinary piece represents not only Iranian craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every intricate detail of this bronze masterpiece while ensuring that it remains out of copyright restrictions. The photograph invites viewers into a world where big cats meet artistry and offers an opportunity for contemplation on ancient civilizations' legacies.
