EDITORS COMMENTS
This marble print, discovered in the ancient ruins of Nineveh, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Assyrian Empire during the reign of Assur-bani-pal, its powerful monarch (585-539 BC). The image, dating back to 500 BC, depicts a series of hunting scenes, with the focus on the dogs of the chase. Assur-bani-pal was renowned for his passion for hunting, and these marble slabs provide a testament to his dedication and the significant role that dogs played in Assyrian hunting culture. The dogs, shown on leashes and accompanied by their handlers, are depicted in various stages of the hunt, from the initial pursuit to the final capture of their prey. The intricate details of the marble slabs reveal the dogs' muscular bodies, alert expressions, and keen focus, highlighting their agility and strength. The handlers, dressed in Assyrian attire, are shown guiding their dogs, demonstrating the close bond between the hunter and his canine companion. The thousand-year-old hunt scenes portrayed in this print evoke a sense of awe and admiration for the ancient Assyrian civilization and its rich cultural heritage. The dogs of Assur-bani-pal's chase serve as a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and their working dogs, a bond that has persisted throughout history and continues to thrive in modern-day hunting traditions.
