Archeological Artifact Barefoot Cuneiform Hands Clasped Headdress King Mesopotamian Text Traditional Clothing 22nd Century Bc Gudea
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Statue of King Gudea, a prominent ruler of Lagash during the 22nd century B. C. Known as the Little Gudea, this diorite sculpture is an extraordinary example of Sumerian art and can be found in the Musee du Louvre in Paris, France. In this full-length depiction, King Gudea sits majestically with his hands clasped together in a gesture of power and authority. The intricate carving on his traditional clothing and headdress reflects the skilled craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. With no people present in the frame, we are left to marvel at this remarkable archeological artifact that has survived for thousands of years. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur and significance of King Gudea's presence. His barefoot stance symbolizes humility despite his royal status. The inclusion of text written in cuneiform adds another layer to our understanding of Mesopotamian culture and history. This single object captures a male likeness that represents not only King Gudea himself but also serves as a testament to human representation throughout time. As we gaze upon this studio shot, we cannot help but feel transported back to an era long gone yet preserved through such masterpieces
