EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art, the "Reclining mouflon" sculpture. Created between 2600-1900 BC during the Indus Valley or Harappan Civilization, this marble masterpiece measures 28 cm in length and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The Indus Valley Civilization, along with Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, stands as one of the three early cradles of civilization. Flourishing from 3300 to 1300 BC, with its mature period spanning from 2600 to 1900 BC, this Bronze Age civilization thrived across northwestern regions of South Asia – encompassing northeast Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwest India. Carved by a talented Pakistani artist whose identity has been lost over time due to its antiquity, this sculpture represents an animal known as a mouflon. With intricate details etched into the stone surface, every curve and contour brings this creature to life. The majestic horns adorning its head symbolize strength and grace. As we gaze upon this ancient work of art today, we are transported back thousands of years to witness the skill and creativity that once flourished in these lands. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity during a time when civilizations were emerging across different corners of our world. Let us marvel at how far we have come while appreciating the rich history that lies behind us.
