The 9th century BC was a time of great cultural and artistic achievements in various parts of the world. In Peru, the Chavin Stele depicted a powerful chieftain wearing elaborate headdress and jewelry, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of that era. Meanwhile, in Moabite Stone discovered in 1926, we catch a glimpse into ancient history through inscriptions detailing events from that time. In biblical history, an illustration from the Dore Bible depicts Jehu ordering Queen Jezebel to be thrown from palace windows during this period. This dramatic scene showcases the power struggles and political turmoil prevalent during this era. Moving eastward to Babylon, we encounter one of the wonders of the ancient world - The Hanging Gardens. Although its existence is debated among historians, an image created in 1890 captures its grandeur and magnificence as it may have appeared during this period. In China's Western Zhou dynasty (1046-771 BC), remarkable artifacts were produced. A mask dating back to around the 9th century BC displays exquisite details and reflects their sophisticated artistry at that time. Alongside it are other treasures such as pendant discs, plaques with coiled dragons, trapezoidal plaques all crafted by unknown artisans who left behind these masterpieces for us to marvel at today. Further exploring Chinese antiquities from late 9th / 8th century BC are pairs of jars which showcase their pottery skills and provide insights into daily life during this period. Additionally, a mask found on a horse bridle offers another glimpse into their equestrian culture. Lastly, we journey to Assyria where relief shows us the head of a winged genius from Neo-Assyrian Period providing evidence of their advanced sculpting techniques and religious beliefs. The artworks and artifacts spanning different regions throughout this fascinating era offer glimpses into diverse cultures' aesthetics while shedding light on historical events shaping societies across continents.
