EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Elamite civilization, offering us a glimpse into their rich history. The bronze wall lamp depicted here features an intricately crafted human head surmounted by two majestic horns. Dating back to the 2nd millennium BC and originating from Iran, this piece exemplifies the artistic prowess of the Elamites. The craftsmanship evident in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail, from the facial features to the delicate horns, has been meticulously sculpted with precision and skill. The use of bronze adds a touch of elegance and durability to this ancient masterpiece. As we admire this artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when art served as both functional objects and expressions of cultural identity. This wall lamp not only illuminated spaces but also represented religious or symbolic significance within Elamite society. Preserved in a private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty and historical importance of such artifacts that might otherwise remain hidden from public view. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to delve deeper into understanding ancient civilizations like that of Elam. Through photography like this one captured by Photo Josse, we can continue to explore diverse cultures around the world while preserving their legacy for future generations.
