EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a section of the Monumental Procession Street in ancient Babylon, a remarkable archaeological discovery now displayed at the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Dating back to the 6th century BC during the Neo-Babylonian period, this intricately decorated street was once a grand processional way for royal ceremonies and parades. The relief, expertly reconstructed from fragments, showcases an array of Akkadian deities and mythological creatures, including lions, a symbol of power and strength in Babylonian culture. The lions are depicted in bas-relief, a technique that involves carving figures into a flat surface, giving the appearance of three-dimensionality. The relief is further adorned with vibrant colors and glazes, adding to its allure and preserving the original beauty of the ancient art. One of the most notable figures in the relief is the goddess Ishtar, the patron goddess of Babylon, who is depicted in a ceremonial chariot, surrounded by flowers and other symbols of fertility. Nebuchadnezzar II, the powerful king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, is also believed to have been represented in this procession. The architectural details of the relief, such as the brickwork and ceramic decorations, provide a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of ancient Babylon, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Orient.
