EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Bronze Age, specifically an intricately carved shaft-hole axe head. Dating back to the late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B. C. , this alabaster masterpiece measures 9x9.4 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The axe head features a mesmerizing composition that tells a story of ancient civilizations. At its center stands a bird-headed demon, exuding both power and mystery. Flanking this enigmatic figure are depictions of a boar and dragon, symbolizing strength and wisdom respectively. Originating from the Oxus civilization, which thrived along the Oxus and Murghab rivers in present-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan, this artifact offers valuable insights into their culture. Crafted from steatite or chlorite alabaster with meticulous attention to detail, it exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of its time. As we delve deeper into this image's narrative, we uncover connections to Persia (modern-day Iran), Hindu Kush mountains, Bactria Margiana region (ancient territories encompassing parts of Turkmenistan), as well as other Asian influences. This sculpture represents not only an archaeological treasure but also serves as a testament to the rich history shared by these regions. Through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every intricate detail of this extraordinary piece of artistry, we can appreciate how it transcends time and space—bridging ancient civilizations with our modern understanding of human creativity.
