EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze bowl dating back to the 1st - 3rd century AD. Crafted by skilled South Arabian artisans, this exquisite piece measures 8.9x26 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The bowl features an intriguing inscription in Old South Arabian, revealing the names "Zayed son of Wasmiya" and possibly "Maysar son of Zayed". The image, captured by eChristies Images and now out of copyright, beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient artifact. The bowl's surface is adorned with a variety of mythical creatures and animals, showcasing the rich symbolism prevalent in Middle Eastern art during that era. One particularly striking element is a winged lion depicted on the bowl's embossed surface. This anthropomorphic creature combines elements of both human and animal forms, reflecting the fascinating hybrid nature found in mythology. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly exceptional; every curve and contour has been meticulously cast using repousse techniques. The result is a visually stunning vessel that seamlessly blends beauty with functionality. This photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this ancient bronze bowl but also provides insight into the cultural significance it holds within its historical context.
