EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a wood carving titled "Howling Wolf" dating back to 500-200 BC. Created by the Siberian School, this small sculpture stands at a height of 11.10 cm with dimensions of 3.30 cm in width and 5.90 cm in depth. The Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA is fortunate to house this remarkable piece, which offers insight into the artistic expressions of nomadic peoples from Western and Central Asia. The intricate shell inlays on the wooden surface add an element of elegance and complexity to the artwork's naturalistic style. It is believed that this sculpture may have been created by one of these nomadic groups, possibly the Scythians or Medes who conquered the Assyrians during that period. Visitors can find similar works by Scythians and other nomadic communities displayed on the northwest wall within this gallery space. The depiction of a howling wolf symbolizes strength, resilience, and perhaps even spiritual significance within their culture. This photograph captures every detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate both its subject matter and historical context. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this image for all art enthusiasts to admire without any commercial use implications associated with it.
