Assyrian Cotta Girsu Iraq Terra Warrior Aisa Tello
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Figure of a Warrior, an exquisite piece of ancient Assyrian art discovered at the archaeological site of Telloh (also known as Girsu) in Iraq. The warrior figure, likely dating back to the Old Assyrian Period around 2000-1800 BCE, was originally made of bronze and stands approximately 25 centimeters tall. The warrior is shown wearing a distinctive Cossaean helmet, a symbol of military power and protection, adorned with a crest of feathers and a pair of horns. His broad shoulders and muscular build suggest his strength and readiness for battle. The warrior's left hand is placed on his hip, while his right hand holds a short spear, a common weapon in ancient Assyrian warfare. The intricate details of the Figure of the Warrior reveal the advanced metalworking techniques of the ancient Assyrians. The figure's facial features, with piercing eyes and a determined expression, convey a sense of fierce determination and courage. The figure's clothing, consisting of a short kilt and a protective apron, is decorated with intricate patterns and geometric designs. The Figure of the Warrior is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and military might of the ancient Assyrian civilization. It is believed that such figures were placed in temples or royal palaces as symbols of protection and power. The discovery of this figure and other ancient artifacts at Telloh has provided valuable insights into the history, art, and culture of the ancient Assyrian civilization. The Figure of the Warrior is an important addition to any collection of ancient art or history, and this print offers a high-quality reproduction of this remarkable piece of world heritage. The print is rights managed, ensuring the authenticity and provenance of the image, and is a must-have for scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts alike.
