This print showcases a statue of King Shalmaneser III (858-824 BC), an ancient Assyrian monarch who ruled during the Neo-Assyrian Period. The statue, carved from basalt, was discovered at the archaeological site of Assur (Qalat Sharqat) in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Turkey. Dating back to the 9th century BC, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and artistic achievements of the Assyrian civilization. The intricately detailed statue portrays King Shalmaneser III with a regal and bearded face, reflecting the wisdom and strength of a powerful monarch. His hand is raised in a gesture of authority, emphasizing his role as a ruler. The statue's style is characteristic of the Neo-Assyrian period, with its emphasis on realism and grandeur. The statue is now housed in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among scholars, historians, and visitors alike. A glimpse into the ancient world, this statue offers a window into the lives of the people who once inhabited the Near East, and the complex and dynamic history of the Assyrian Empire.
