EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of Oriental antiquity - a stele carved from black limestone. The intricate bas-reliefs depict the powerful King Meli-Shipak II, who reigned during the Kassite period of Babylon (1186-1172 BC), and his son Marduk-apla-iddina. This remarkable artifact was discovered at the site of Susa in Iran and now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The stele serves as a support for land donation, symbolizing the transfer of property rights from one generation to another. It not only highlights the political significance of this ancient practice but also offers valuable insights into religious beliefs during that time. The carvings represent the great deities worshipped by these rulers, showcasing their devotion to divine powers. The craftsmanship exhibited on this stele is truly awe-inspiring. Each delicate detail has been meticulously etched into the stone, bringing to life mythical characters and scenes from Persian mythology. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when gods and goddesses held immense sway over human affairs. This photograph captures not only a significant historical artifact but also embodies centuries-old civilizations, mythology, artistry, and cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their rich artistic traditions that continue to captivate us today.
