EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a well-preserved bull bust, known as Bull. Basalt, which once stood guard at the ancient temple of Tell Halaf in Syria around 6100 to 5400 BC. The temple, located in the northeastern part of Syria, was a significant religious and cultural center during the Neolithic and Prehistoric periods, particularly in the Halaf civilization. The bull, sculpted from basalt, is a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the people of the time. Its powerful and imposing form, with its massive head and intricately detailed features, exudes a sense of strength and protection. The bull was likely a guardian deity or a symbol of fertility and abundance in the ancient civilization's mythology. The bust is now housed at the entrance of the National Museum of Aleppo, Syria, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The bull's presence in the museum serves as a reminder of the ancient civilizations that once thrived in the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor, including Mesopotamia and the Syrian Arab Republic. The bull's face, with its expressive features and intricate details, continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the past and the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient civilizations.
