EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin, a powerful symbol of triumph and authority from ancient Mesopotamia. Created during the Akkadian Period, specifically between 2225-2185 BC, this pink sandstone masterpiece stands tall at an impressive height of 210 cm. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight the remarkable craftsmanship that went into creating this relief carving. Despite its age and damage over time, the stele still exudes a sense of grandeur and strength. The eroded surface adds to its mystique, giving it an aura of ancient wisdom. In this particular detail, we see Naram-Sin depicted as a horned king leading his soldiers into battle with bow and arrow in hand. His commanding presence is undeniable as he strides forward fearlessly against his enemies - the Lullubi people. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness a pivotal moment in history when empires clashed and kings asserted their dominance. It serves as a reminder that power struggles have always been part of human civilization. Displayed proudly at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this artwork holds immense historical significance and cultural value. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can now appreciate every intricacy of this ancient relic from Mesopotamia's glorious past.
