EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of Eastern antiquity: a dove crafted in lapis lazuli and gold. From the Susa website, this artifact belongs to the Medio-elamite period in Iran, dating back to 1200 BC. Currently housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, it is a remarkable representation of Middle Elamite Period art. The intricate details of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The use of lapis lazuli, a deep blue semi-precious stone highly valued in ancient times for its vibrant color, adds an aura of mystique and elegance to the dove's form. Enhanced by delicate golden accents that shimmer with opulence, this masterpiece exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistic prowess prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this image captured by Photo Josse, we cannot help but be transported back in time to ancient Persia (modern-day Iran). This artifact not only serves as a testament to Persian archaeology but also reflects the rich cultural heritage and influence of Arab civilization on the region. With its symbolic significance as a bird associated with peace and love across various cultures throughout history, this dove carved from precious materials holds both aesthetic allure and profound meaning. It stands as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that transcends time. In preserving such treasures from our past, we gain insight into civilizations long gone while appreciating their enduring beauty.
