EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a head sculpture from the 8th century B. C. The delicate features and intricate details of this female figure, carved out of ivory, transport us back to ancient Mesopotamia. Originally discovered in Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), Iraq, this masterpiece was found within the ruins of a palace that suffered destruction during the downfall of Assyria in the late 7th century B. C. It is believed to have been created during the reign of King Ashurnasirpal II. The woman depicted wears an ornate headdress adorned with jewels, reflecting her royal status. Her mesmerizing eyes gaze into eternity, while her bone-like tusk earrings add an exotic touch to her appearance. This artwork exemplifies Phoenician influence on Neo-Assyrian art. The skillful carving captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of power and grace. As we admire this fragmentary piece, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage preserved within archaeological treasures like these. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, USA, this remarkable artifact serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression across time and civilizations. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today as it did centuries ago when it graced palaces along the banks of Tigris River in ancient Mesopotamia.
