This print showcases a stunning collection of jewellery from the Royal Cemetery at Ur, Sumeria, Ancient Iraq. Dating back to the Early Dynastic III period around 2600 BC, these exquisite pieces provide a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of ancient Mesopotamian civilization. The image reveals an array of hair ornaments, earrings, and necklaces meticulously crafted with intricate details. These adornments were not mere accessories but held significant cultural and social importance during that era. They were worn by women attendants serving Queen Pu-Abi, highlighting their elevated status within society. The use of vibrant colors such as blue lapis lazuli and cornelian beads adds an enchanting touch to this archaeological treasure. Each piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship and artistic sensibility prevalent in ancient Sumerian culture. These precious artefacts were discovered in a tomb within the city of Ur, providing valuable insights into burial customs and beliefs surrounding death in this ancient civilization. The meticulous preservation of grave goods like these jewels suggests their symbolic significance in accompanying individuals to the afterlife. Thanks to dedicated archaeologists like CM Dixon who captured this remarkable photograph, we can appreciate the beauty and historical value encapsulated within these timeless treasures from over four millennia ago.
