Ibex Eating, c. 400-600 (stucco (gypsum plaster) with traces of paint)
491224 Ibex Eating, c.400-600 (stucco (gypsum plaster) with traces of paint) by Sasanian School; h:30.80 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: From about AD 224 until about 650, the Sasanian kings ruled a rich and powerful empire that stretched from Iran and Iraq to Afghanistan and Georgia (Russia). The Sasanians, named for Sasan, their first king, controlled parts of the lucrative Silk Route, and with their accrued wealth they built great palaces furnished with luxurious silks and lavish vessels made of silver mined in their own territories. The Sasanians were Zoroastrians--worshippers of Ahuramazda, the spirit of Good, who was in constant struggle with Evil. On some of the works of art shown here, the hunting scenes or the scenes of combat between two species of animal or between man and animal reflect Zoroastrian beliefs. On other works, scenes of wine-drinking, dancing, and other forms of revelry are similar to favorite decorations on Greek and Roman vases in pottery and precious metal. The Sasanians, who ruled the major trading routes through Central Asia, decorated their palace architecture with painted stucco. A favorite motif of many ancient Near East Cultures depicted goats standing on their hind legs to eat leaves or berries from the " Tree of Life"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Ibex Eating, c. 400-600" by the Sasanian School. Created using stucco (gypsum plaster) with traces of paint, this masterpiece stands at a height of 30.80 cm and is housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Sasanian kings reigned over a vast empire from AD 224 to about 650, spanning regions such as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Georgia in Russia. As devout followers of Zoroastrianism, their art often reflected their beliefs and struggles between good and evil. Intriguingly, this particular piece portrays an ibex standing on its hind legs to feast upon leaves or berries from the symbolic "Tree of Life". This motif was widely favored among ancient Near East cultures and holds deep spiritual significance. The Sasanians were not only powerful rulers but also controlled parts of the lucrative Silk Route. Their wealth allowed them to construct opulent palaces adorned with luxurious silks and exquisite silver vessels mined within their own territories. With scenes ranging from hunting expeditions to joyous revelries reminiscent of Greek and Roman traditions, these artworks provide glimpses into the rich cultural tapestry woven by the Sasanians along Central Asia's trading routes. This remarkable photograph captures not just a stunning work of art but also offers us a glimpse into an era where spirituality intertwined with power and prosperity.
