EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable steatite seal from the late Mohenjo-daro period in Pakistan. The image depicts an intricately carved elephant, symbolizing the rich history and ancient civilization of the Indus Valley. Crafted with exquisite detail, this textured artifact is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its time. The seal, now housed in Karachi's Museo Nazionale del Pakistan (Archaeological Museum), offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a tangible link to our ancestors. Its horizontal orientation emphasizes its single object status, drawing attention to its significance as an archaeological artifact. Dating back to the 19th century BC, this soapstone masterpiece not only represents an animal but also features non-western script engravings that add further intrigue and mystery. The presence of such detailed artwork on this small piece speaks volumes about the artistic prowess of ancient civilizations. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time - imagining how it was used or what stories it may hold. This image invites us to appreciate both art and craft while reminding us of our connection to those who came before us. It serves as a reminder that history is alive within these antiquities waiting for us to unravel their secrets and learn from their wisdom.
