EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Cup in the form of a mouflon, Susa. Belonging to the Dynasty of Simshki and dating back to approximately 2000-1940 BC, this cup is an exquisite example of craftsmanship and artistic expression. What makes this cup truly unique is its material composition. Made from a bitumen compound, it demonstrates the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. The use of such a compound highlights their advanced knowledge in science and technology during that era. The cup's design is equally intriguing. Shaped like a mouflon, an animal native to Iran, it reflects the deep connection between art and nature in ancient civilizations. Its intricate details showcase the mastery of artisans who carefully sculpted every curve and contour. Now housed at The Louvre museum, this artifact serves as a testament to human history and cultural heritage. It allows us to glimpse into the lives of those who lived thousands of years ago in Susa, present-day Iran. As we marvel at this stunning piece, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. Through objects like these cups, we can better understand our past while fostering appreciation for diverse cultures around the world.
