EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Champleve furniture or cosmetic box plaque with a winged youth, dating back to around 700 BC. Crafted from ivory, this exquisite piece of Neo-Assyrian art stands at an impressive height of 5.9 cm. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, it is believed to have originated from Fort Shalmaneser at Nimrud in ancient Mesopotamia. The intricate carving and delicate relief work on this plaque depict a mesmerizing scene influenced by Egyptian aesthetics within the Phoenician tradition. The figure of the winged youth is adorned with wings reminiscent of those found in ancient Egyptian mythology, symbolizing power and divinity. Every detail on this artwork reflects the skilled craftsmanship and artistic finesse prevalent during the 7th century BC in the Middle East. From the beautifully carved blossoms to the ornate decoration surrounding them, every element tells a story of cultural exchange and artistic fusion. As we admire this remarkable sculpture, we are transported back to an era where palaces stood tall and civilizations flourished. Its archaeological significance adds another layer of intrigue as it provides insights into ancient Mesopotamian society.
