EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Winged Assyrian Bull, a remarkable artifact from the ancient world. Dating back to circa 725 BC, this gypsum sculpture is one of two alabaster guardian genies, or lamassu, that once adorned the facade of the Palace of King Sargon II in Khorsabad, during the Late Assyrian Period. The Assyrian Empire, known for its military prowess and artistic achievements, reached its zenith during Sargon II's reign. The Winged Assyrian Bull is a mythical creature, featuring a human-headed bull with wings sprouting from its back. This winged form represents the divine power and protection bestowed upon the king and his palace. The bull's human head symbolizes strength and wisdom, while the wings signify the ability to soar above earthly concerns and reach the heavens. These guardian genies, the lamassu, were believed to assure the foundations of the world and those of the palace itself. They were essential elements of Assyrian mythology, serving as symbols of protection, stability, and power. The intricate details of the sculpture, from the muscular form of the bull to the intricately carved wings and human features, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skill of the Assyrian artisans. The Winged Assyrian Bull is a testament to the rich history and cultural achievements of the Assyrian civilization. Its discovery and preservation allow us to connect with the past and gain a deeper understanding of the beliefs, values, and artistic traditions of an ancient civilization.
