EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the intricately decorated royal lyre from the ancient city of Ur, excavated by the renowned archaeologist Leonard Woolley in September 1929. The lyre, a musical instrument of great significance in ancient civilizations, dates back to around 2100 BC and was once used by the royal court. The gold-plated head of the lyre is adorned with an imposing, bearded bull's head, a common motif in ancient Sumerian art. The bull's head is intricately detailed, with curling horns, expressive eyes, and a textured, lifelike appearance. The restoration of this priceless artifact, which was discovered in a royal tomb, has allowed modern audiences to appreciate the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skill of the ancient Ur civilization. Leonard Woolley, a British archaeologist, led the excavation of Ur, which was a major archaeological site in the 1920s. The site, located in modern-day Iraq, was once the capital city of the Sumerian civilization, one of the earliest known civilizations in human history. Woolley's discoveries, including this lyre, have shed light on the rich history and culture of this ancient civilization. The lyre is a testament to the advanced artistic and technological capabilities of the ancient Ur civilization. Its intricate decoration and preservation despite the passage of thousands of years are a reminder of the enduring legacy of human creativity and innovation. This print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the people and cultures that shaped our history.
