EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Persia - a Persian lion mounted on a wheeled carriage. Crafted with precision and skill, this stunning piece is made of calcite and bitumen, displaying the ingenuity of its creators. The vibrant colors bring life to the image, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind this unique creation. Transportation takes on a whole new meaning as we witness this majestic creature being carried upon wheels. Symbolizing power and strength, the lion embodies the spirit of Persia while being juxtaposed against modern means of mobility. This photograph invites us to ponder upon the metaphorical significance it holds in relation to road transport. The location where this extraordinary artifact was discovered adds another layer of fascination. Susa, an ancient city in Iran's Khuzestan province, has long been associated with rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze at this relic through time's lens, we are transported back to an era when Persian civilization flourished. Captured by CM Dixon and brought into focus by Mike Dixon, this image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical value that lies within such artifacts. It serves as a reminder of our collective human journey and how objects like these can bridge gaps between past and present. With all rights reserved by 1996-98 AccuSoft Inc. , let us cherish this photograph for what it represents - an exquisite glimpse into ancient Persia's artistic prowess and their innovative approach towards transportation centuries ago.
