EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of Oriental antiquity: a votive bronze plaque incised by a deity on her lion. Dating back to the 8th century BC, this artifact originates from Ourartou (Urartu) and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The artwork was created by the Armenian School and beautifully captures elements of mythology, metalwork, and ancient art. The plaque depicts a powerful goddess seated atop a majestic lion, symbolizing strength and divinity. The intricate details carved into the bronze showcase the skillful craftsmanship of the Armenian artisans who created it centuries ago. This piece not only serves as a testament to their artistic abilities but also offers insights into religious practices during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an age when paganism thrived in Armenia and Assyria. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage that exists within these regions and highlights their contributions to human history. Through archaeology and careful preservation efforts, such artifacts continue to provide valuable knowledge about our past civilizations. This particular image captured by Photo Josse allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
