EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the past - the Silver Bowl from a Sarmatian Tomb, dating back to the 4th-5th century. The Sarmatians, an influential confederation of Iranian people during classical antiquity, thrived for several centuries before their decline in the 4th century. Housed in the prestigious Hermitage Museum in Leningrad, this bowl is a testament to their rich cultural heritage. The image captures a close-up view of this exquisite silver bowl adorned with intricate designs and motifs. The focal point of the artwork depicts horses engaged in combat, symbolizing war and death - themes that were significant to these ancient warriors. A male warrior on horseback can be seen gesturing with his raised arm while holding an axe, showcasing both power and aggression. With its Oriental influences and vibrant colors, this artifact offers us a glimpse into an era long gone by. It serves as a reminder of Persia's historical significance and its connection to Iran's ancient roots. Photographed by CM Dixon in the 20th century, this grave finding holds immense archaeological value. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also unravel some mysteries surrounding Sarmatian burial practices and customs.
