EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Foundation Nail of Gudea" a copper alloy sculpture that dates back to approximately 2100 BC. Crafted using the intricate lost-wax casting technique, this Neo-Sumerian masterpiece stands as a testament to the artistic prowess of its time. Measuring at an impressive height of 17.50 centimeters and adorned with a base that extends its dimensions to 20.90 centimeters in height, this artifact is currently housed within the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Acquired through the John L. Severance Fund, it now resides as part of their esteemed collection. The Foundation Nail of Gudea originates from ancient Lagash, located in present-day Iraq. This figurine exudes an air of mystique and power, capturing the essence of Sumerian artistry with its intricate detailing and symbolic significance. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years into Mesopotamia's rich history. The statue's regal presence evokes curiosity about its purpose - perhaps serving as a talisman or symbolizing divine protection for important structures during that era. While appreciating this awe-inspiring artwork, let us marvel at how it has endured through time and space to grace our modern world with glimpses into humanity's past achievements in art and culture.
