EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable plaque fragment depicting a winged bull from Nimrud, Iraq. Dating back to the 8th century BC, this exquisite piece of ivory artistry was created by the Assyrian School and is now housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The image captures the sheer power and majesty of this mythological creature. With its charging stance and muscular physique, it exudes an aura of strength and dominance. The intricate details on its horned head and feathered wings are truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of ancient artisans. In Assyrian mythology, winged bulls were often associated with protection and guardianship. They were believed to possess supernatural abilities that could ward off evil spirits or enemies. This mythical beast symbolized both ferocity in battle and divine intervention. The presence of a wheel beneath the bull further adds to its enigmatic nature. Wheels held great significance in ancient Mesopotamian culture as symbols of cosmic order or celestial movement. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where myths intertwined with reality. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history – a reminder that even thousands of years ago, our ancestors possessed an innate ability to create fantastical creatures that continue to captivate us today.
