EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 25th century BC - a Pakistani steatite seal featuring an intricately carved image of a rhinoceros. The seal, discovered in Mohenjo Daro, Pakistan, offers us a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of this ancient civilization. The attention to detail in this carving is truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour of the rhinoceros's body has been meticulously etched into the smooth surface of the steatite. Against a striking black background, the rich coloration of the seal stands out vividly, adding depth and dimension to this stunning piece. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when seals like these held great significance. Used for administrative purposes or as personal identification marks, they were symbols of authority and ownership. This particular seal serves as a testament to both the craftsmanship and reverence for nature that existed centuries ago. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, who expertly captured every intricate detail with their studio shot technique, we can now appreciate this extraordinary artifact up close. Let us marvel at its beauty while acknowledging its historical importance within Pakistani culture.
