EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Syria, known as the "Cylinder Seal with a Two-Humped Camel Carrying a Divine Couple". Measuring 2.8x1.3 cm, this small yet intricate seal is housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The seal depicts a divine couple seated atop the two humps of a Bactrian camel, offering one of the earliest depictions of this magnificent animal. Above them floats a winged rosette, symbolizing protection and guardianship. Perched on the head and neck of the camel stands a smaller figure holding a bow. To one side stands an enchanting winged female deity observing an intense contest between man and beast. The surrounding space is filled with an array of animals including lions, scorpions, bulls, and gazelles. Carved out of precious hematite and adorned with gems, this exquisite piece exemplifies masterful craftsmanship in metalwork and gemstone carving from antiquity's Middle East. It serves as both an artifact representing Syrian culture during its II-III periods (1800-1650 BC) and as an artistic treasure that has stood the test of time. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to ancient times where stylized figures come to life on this cylinder seal - reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with artistry throughout history.
