EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fascinating excavation of Samarra in Iraq. The image showcases fragments of a frieze with camel figures, discovered in the Palace of the Caliph during Ernst Herzfeld's archaeological expedition between 1911 and 1914. Measuring 11.8x16.7 cm, this small serdab detail provides a glimpse into the rich history of ancient Mesopotamia. Samarra was an important town state that thrived alongside the Ubaid period, making it one of the earliest urban civilizations in the Near East. Its existence spanned from 5,500 BCE to its eventual collapse around 3,900 BCE. This excavation became significant as it shed light on the Samarra culture and established Samarra as its type site. The intricate architectural details depicted in this photograph highlight both the artistic skill and cultural significance attached to these camel figures within Mesopotamian antiquities. These fragments offer valuable insights into life during this time period and provide evidence for further research on Middle Eastern history. Preserved by Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Archives at Smithsonian Institution, USA, this image is a testament to Herzfeld's dedication to uncovering ancient treasures while contributing greatly to our understanding of early civilizations in Iraq.
