EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Neolithic era sculpture, specifically the "Head of a female Persian gazelle". Created between 6000-5500 BC, this granite masterpiece measures 3.7x3.7 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The head of the gazelle, although broken at the neck, still emanates an undeniable aura of grace and beauty. Skillfully carved on a granite pebble believed to originate from the Euphrates region, this artwork offers us a glimpse into ancient artistic techniques. Thought to have originated from Abu Hureyra in Syria's Tell Abu Hureyra archaeological site, this stunning piece represents not only an animal but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity during that time period. As we marvel at its intricate details and smooth contours, we can't help but imagine how it must have been revered by our ancestors thousands of years ago. This sculpture stands as a reminder of our shared history with nature and highlights humanity's early fascination with capturing its essence through art. Preserved for generations to come within the Ashmolean Museum's collection, this neolithic carving continues to inspire awe and admiration among visitors who are fortunate enough to witness its timeless beauty firsthand.
