EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover image from the March 19, 1928, issue of The Illustrated London News showcases a remarkable archaeological discovery: a reconstructed golden head-dress of Queen Shub-ad of Ur, unearthed during the royal graves excavations at Ur, Iraq, led by Sir Leonard Woolley. Dating back approximately 5,000 years, this exquisite coiffure, adorned with intricate jewels and jewellery, provides a captivating glimpse into the sumptuous lifestyle and regal splendor of ancient Sumerian civilization. The head-dress, which features a towering conical structure, is believed to have been worn by Queen Shub-ad during her burial rituals. The discovery of this priceless artifact, along with other significant finds, generated immense excitement and fascination among scholars and the public alike. Sir Leonard Woolley's meticulous excavations at the royal cemetery of Ur, which began in 1922, unearthed numerous treasures, shedding new light on the ancient civilization and its rich history. This photograph, taken at the time of the discovery, provides a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to marvel at the intricate craftsmanship and artistic skill of the ancient Sumerians. The golden head-dress of Queen Shub-ad stands as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of a bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of archaeological discoveries.
