EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lion Hunting Cup, dating back to 1100-1000 BC, is a remarkable piece of raised, chased, and repousse silver artwork created by the Iranian School. Measuring at 14x9.3 cm, this exquisite cup is housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. This ancient artifact showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the nomadic gold and silversmiths from Marlik and Amlash, who were pioneers in precious metalwork in Iran. Their expertise was later carried on by the bronzeworkers of Luristan and the silversmiths of the Achaemenian and Sasanian Empires. The intricate design features figures engaged in a lion hunt with bows and arrows as their weapons. The handle of the cup depicts an archer aiming his bow towards a fierce lion figure. The attention to detail is evident through every arrow point meticulously crafted on this masterpiece. Originating from northwestern Iran, this cup not only serves as a testament to ancient artistry but also provides insight into historical weaponry used during that era. It represents both an armament for defense purposes and an infantry weapon for hunting or combat. Acquired through purchase from the J. H Wade Fund by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print immortalizes one of Iran's most treasured artifacts while allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today.
