EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into ancient civilization. The image features a sharpening stone and granulation rings, discovered at the site of Susa in southwest Iran, dating back to 1150 BC. Housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, this artifact belongs to the Middle Elamite Period, which spanned from approximately 1500-1000 BC. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details of these metal objects, highlighting their significance as both practical tools and exquisite works of art. The sharpening stone served as an essential tool for refining blades and edges during that time period. Meanwhile, the delicate granulation rings showcase superb craftsmanship with their intricate designs and use of gold. These artifacts provide valuable insights into Persian culture and jewelry-making techniques prevalent in ancient Iran. They reflect a rich heritage deeply rooted in creativity and aesthetics. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness the mastery of Iranian artisans who skillfully crafted these precious adornments.
