EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent silver and gilt bowl from the Sasanian period in Iran, dating back to the 4th-5th century. The Persian School's exquisite craftsmanship is evident in this piece, which measures 19.1 cm in diameter and currently resides at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts a scene of ancient hunting, transporting us back to an era where archery was not only a skill but also an art form. A skilled male archer is shown on horseback, poised with his bow ready to release an arrow towards his target. The presence of horses suggests that this hunt took place amidst vast landscapes or perhaps even within royal grounds. Intriguingly, we see various animals scattered across the bowl's surface – wildlife that would have been common during that time. This inclusion adds depth and realism to the artwork while highlighting its connection to nature and rural life. The intricate details captured by Bridgeman Images allow us to appreciate not only the beauty of this historical artifact but also its cultural significance as it represents both artistic expression and practical weaponry used for survival during ancient times.
