EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Horse Bit Cheekpiece, dating back to around 700 BC. Crafted by the Iranian School, this cast and incised bronze piece measures 14.9x21.3 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. What makes this particular cheekpiece truly exceptional is its rarity. Three figure cheekpieces like this one are incredibly scarce to find. While a more common variation features an animal figure on each cheekpiece, both designs exhibit elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. The intricate details of this bronze masterpiece are brought to life through the artful combination of casting and incising techniques employed by skilled artisans of that era. The result is a stunning representation of equine adornment that seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetic appeal. Acquired through the J. H. Wade Fund, this Iranian treasure holds immense historical significance as it provides valuable insights into ancient equestrian culture and artistic practices prevalent during that time period. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how such an exquisite work of art has managed to transcend centuries, allowing us a glimpse into a distant world where beauty was intricately woven into every aspect of life.
