EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the British Museum's collection - a solid copper Sumerian bison. Discovered near the enchanting Lake Van in Turkey, this ancient masterpiece is steeped in history and symbolism. Standing tall and proud against a striking black background, the bison's profile exudes strength and resilience. Its rich copper color adds to its allure, reflecting both its age and craftsmanship. This image transports us back to the ancient civilization of Sumer, where such objects held immense cultural significance. The Sumerian bison serves as more than just an object; it becomes a metaphor for our connection with nature and our understanding of past civilizations. It reminds us of how geography shapes human history, as Lake Van itself played a role in preserving this treasure over centuries. Photographed meticulously in a studio setting by CM Dixon, every detail of this artifact is brought to life. The composition captures the essence of mystery surrounding the Sumerians while highlighting their artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are reminded that museums like the British Museum serve as gateways to our collective heritage. They allow us to explore different cultures through tangible artifacts like this solid copper Sumerian bison – treasures that bridge gaps between time and space.
