EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Oriental antiquity: a bronze jaw plate depicting an androcephalous monster triumphantly trampling a doe. The artwork, created by the Median School during the period of 700-550 BC, hails from Luristan and is currently housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The intricate carving on this ancient artifact reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess of its creators. Every detail has been meticulously etched into the bronze surface, bringing to life this mythical creature with its human-like head and powerful body as it dominates over the helpless doe beneath its feet. Dating back to 750 BC, this extraordinary relic offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It represents more than just an object; it symbolizes centuries of Persian history and culture. As we admire this masterpiece, we are transported back to ancient times when civilizations flourished in what is now modern-day Iran. The fusion of metalwork and artistry showcased in this jaw plate exemplifies the rich heritage that exists within Middle Eastern antiquities. Its presence at the Louvre Museum serves as a testament to its historical significance and enduring allure. Through photography by ePhoto Josse, we can appreciate every intricacy captured within this image – from the delicate carvings to the subtle patina that has developed over time. This photograph invites us to explore our fascination with archaeology while celebrating humanity's ability to create lasting works of beauty across generations.
