EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Assyrian decorations dating back to 1898. Created by an unknown artist, these ancient artifacts provide a glimpse into the rich history and opulence of the Assyrian civilization. The image features various examples of Assyrian artistry, including polychrome sculptures, pottery, and painted bas-reliefs. The photograph highlights several notable pieces such as a portion of a glazed brick from Khorsabad palace, painted ornaments from Nimroud, and sacred trees depicted in painted bas-reliefs from Nimroud as well. These excavated treasures were discovered along the banks of the Tigris River at sites like Khorsabad, Nimroud, and Koyunjik (Nineveh). While Egyptian influence can be observed in some aspects of Assyrian ornamentation, there is no denying its originality. The intricate designs and attention to detail reflect the magnificence and exuberant luxury that characterized their architectural structures. One striking element within this print is the presence of a winged male figure symbolizing the soul. This symbolic representation adds depth to our understanding of ancient Assyrian beliefs and spirituality. Preserved through time with remarkable craftsmanship intact, these artistic relics offer us invaluable insights into one of history's most fascinating civilizations – their culture, creativity, and enduring legacy.
