This print takes us back in time to Lower Mesopotamia, Iraq, circa 2700 B. C. It showcases a fragment of an inlaid work from Kish, depicting a powerful scene between the King and a prisoner's arm. The artwork is believed to have originated during the Bronze Age and is now housed at the National Iraq Museum. Set against a striking black background, this ancient artifact immediately grabs our attention with its intricate engravings and delicate craftsmanship. Despite being damaged over centuries of existence, it still exudes an aura of grandeur and significance. The profile view adds depth to the composition as we witness the King firmly grasping the prisoner's arm. This representation symbolizes dominance and control within Mesopotamian society during that era. Dressed in traditional clothing befitting his royal status, the King stands tall as he asserts his authority over his captive.
