EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Frieze fragment, crafted by the Iraqi School. Measuring 26x26.5x2.2 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The artwork itself consists of white limestone set within schist and depicts a soldier with captives. Dating back to the ED II-IIIA transition period, this ancient carving offers a glimpse into antiquity and tells a story that spans generations. The intricate details carved into the stone bring life to the soldier's figure, capturing his strength and determination as he stands alongside his captured foes. The contrast between the white limestone and dark schist adds depth and complexity to this fragment, highlighting its artistic mastery. Every line etched into the stone speaks volumes about the skill of its creator.
