This print showcases the remarkable Peace Frieze from the Standard of Ur, an ancient Sumerian artifact discovered in the Royal Cemetery of Ur, located in present-day Iraq. Dating back to approximately 2600 - 2400 BCE, this extraordinary piece was unearthed by renowned British archaeologist Sir Leonard Woolley during his excavation efforts. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of the Standard of Ur make it a true testament to the advanced civilization that once thrived in Mesopotamia. Depicting scenes of peace and harmony amidst a backdrop of war and conflict, this frieze offers a profound insight into the values and aspirations held by its creators. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork frozen in time, we are transported back thousands of years to an era when art served as both a medium for storytelling and a reflection of societal ideals.
