This print showcases the magnificent Ishtar Gate, a remarkable architectural marvel that stood as one of the eight fortified gates in Nebuchandrezzar's ancient city of Babylon. Dating back to approximately 575 BC during the Neo-Babylonian era, this gate served as an entrance to a grand processional road. The gate itself was adorned with stunning brick relief featuring intricate depictions of dragons and young bulls. The restoration of this glazed brick masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring, as it allows us to catch a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of ancient Babylonian civilization. This particular photograph captures the essence and beauty of this historical artifact, which now resides within the Pergamon Museum. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and significance of Ishtar Gate.
