EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin, the powerful king of Akkad, from ancient Susa in Iran. Dating back to the 3rd millennium BC, this monumental sculpture stands at an impressive height of 2 meters. The image captures a defining moment in history as it depicts the fearless king trampling over his defeated enemies. The intricate carving and artistry on display here are truly awe-inspiring. Every line and contour tells a story of leadership, domination, and war that characterized the Akkadian civilization during this era. This vertical stone sculpture serves as a testament to Naram-Sin's military prowess and unwavering determination. As we gaze upon this single object frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where conflicts were settled through strength and might. The absence of people in this photograph allows us to focus solely on the male likeness portrayed with such precision. This artifact not only represents an important piece of ancient history but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with power and conquest. It is through artifacts like these that we can gain insights into our past civilizations' values, beliefs, and artistic achievements. The location itself adds another layer of intrigue – Shush (ancient Susa) was once a thriving city known for its rich cultural heritage. This print encapsulates centuries-old craftsmanship preserved for generations to come thanks to archeology's tireless efforts
