EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricately carved Lamasu, or Bull-man, from the Gate of Sargon II's Palace in Dur-Sharrukin (modern-day Khorsabad), Assyria. Dating back to the 8th century BC, this alabaster relief is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the ancient Assyrian civilization. Lamasu, also known as Shedu, was a protective deity in Assyrian mythology, depicted as a muscular, winged bull with the head of a human or a god. This powerful creature was believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune to the Assyrian rulers and their kingdom. The Gate of Sargon II, which originally stood at the entrance to the palace, is a masterpiece of Assyrian art and architecture. The relief carvings on the gate, including the Lamasu, demonstrate the advanced artistic techniques and innovative design of the Assyrian civilization during the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Sargon II, who ruled from 721-705 BC, was a powerful Assyrian king who expanded the Assyrian empire and left a lasting impact on Mesopotamian history. The discovery of his palace at Dur-Sharrukin in 1843 brought to light a wealth of Assyrian art and artifacts, including this remarkable Lamasu relief. Now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this ancient treasure continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural achievements of the ancient Assyrian civilization.
