EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Sassanid horse head sculpture, crafted from gold and silver during the 4th or 5th century. Originating from the Kerman region of Iran, this exquisite piece stands at an impressive height of 0.14 meters and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The intricate details of this Persian artwork highlight the mastery and skill of the Iranian School that created it. The horse's majestic presence is captured flawlessly, showcasing its strength and grace. This sculpture serves as a testament to the rich civilization and artistic heritage of ancient Persia. The image transports us back in time to witness not only a stunning work of art but also provides insight into the significance horses held within Persian culture. Horses were highly revered animals, symbolizing power, nobility, and speed. They played crucial roles in various aspects such as transportation, warfare, and even leisure activities like racing. Through this photograph by Josse, we are able to appreciate both the beauty of nature's creation - with its depiction of wildlife animals - as well as human creativity through carved bas reliefs on wooden carvings. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with our relationship with animals throughout history. Overall, this striking image invites viewers to marvel at both artistic excellence and cultural significance while offering a glimpse into centuries past where horses reigned supreme alongside human civilization in Iran's Kerman region.
