EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Sumerian headdress worn by Queen Shub-ad. Discovered in the ancient city of Ur by Mr C. Leonard Woolley, this exquisite artifact takes us back to a time long gone. The headdress, beautifully captured in vibrant color lithography, is an intricate work of art that reflects the grandeur and opulence of Sumerian royalty. Adorned with gold earrings and meticulously crafted details, it is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. Published in the Illustrated London News in 1928, this photograph allows us to marvel at the splendor of Queen Shub-ad's headdress from our own time. It offers a glimpse into a civilization that flourished thousands of years ago along the banks of Mesopotamia's Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Queen Shub-ad herself remains shrouded in mystery as we can only imagine her life and role within Sumerian society. However, through this image, we are able to appreciate her regal presence and significance. This photograph serves as a reminder that art has always been an essential part of human culture; it connects us across centuries and continents. The Sumerian headdress worn by Queen Shub-ad stands as both an extraordinary archaeological find and an enduring symbol of artistic expression throughout history.
