EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - Hittite oxen. Dating back to the period between 1600 BC and 1350 BC, these oxen are a testament to the rich history of the Hittites, an Ancient Anatolian people who established a powerful empire centered on Hattusa in north-central Anatolia. The Hittite civilization flourished during the mid-14th century BC under Suppiluliuma I, reaching its zenith. This print captures one of their significant cultural relics that has survived through centuries. Displayed at the Istanbul Museum, this photograph allows us to marvel at these magnificent creatures that played an integral role in Hittite society. The oxen depicted here symbolize strength and power, traits highly valued by this ancient civilization. Through vibrant colors and intricate details captured by photographer CM Dixon, we can appreciate not only the beauty of these animals but also gain insight into the craftsmanship of artisans from over three millennia ago. This artifact serves as a tangible link connecting us to our ancestors and reminding us of their ingenuity and artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this image, let it transport us back in time to Anatolia's ancient landscapes where these oxen once roamed freely. Let it inspire awe for those who came before us and appreciation for their enduring legacy etched into objects like this extraordinary piece.
