EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1850, captures a moment of awe and wonder as two Victorian visitors admire the impressive Winged Bull Sculpture from Nineveh, on display at the British Museum in London. The Nineveh Sculpture, also known as the Lamassu, is an ancient Assyrian guardian figure, carved from alabaster and limestone, dating back to around 883-860 BC. It was discovered in Nimroud, the ancient capital of the Assyrian Empire, and was brought to the British Museum in 1850. The visitors, elegantly dressed in Victorian attire, are deeply engrossed in the intricate details of the sculpture. The Winged Bull, with its powerful body and fierce expression, is adorned with wings, symbolizing the protective deity, Pazuzu. The sculpture's wings are spread wide, creating an imposing presence that leaves the visitors in awe. The British Museum, founded in 1753, was the first national public museum and library in the United Kingdom, and the Winged Bull Sculpture was one of its earliest acquisitions. The museum's extensive collection of world cultures, including this magnificent piece from Nineveh, attracted visitors from all over the world, making it a hub for exploration and discovery. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of curiosity and fascination for the ancient world. The visitors' admiration for the Winged Bull Sculpture reflects the wonder and excitement that continues to draw people to the British Museum today.
