EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - a painted terracotta goblet with animal decoration, dating back to approximately 4000 BC. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in the intricate frieze that adorns this Susa masterpiece, now proudly displayed at The Louvre. The vibrant colors used in the artwork bring life to the scene depicted on the goblet. A variety of animals can be seen, including a hunting dog and an ibis bird, both symbolizing different aspects of nature and their significance in ancient Iranian culture. This piece serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of Iran's Susa region. The delicate ceramic material adds an element of fragility and elegance to this extraordinary object. Its presence evokes curiosity about its purpose - was it used for ceremonial occasions or perhaps as a cherished household item? Regardless, it offers us a glimpse into the daily lives and cultural practices of our ancestors. As we admire this rare artifact captured by CM Dixon's lens, we are reminded of how art transcends time, connecting us with civilizations long gone. It is through such treasures that we gain insight into our collective heritage while appreciating the skillful hands that crafted them thousands of years ago.
