This print showcases two exquisite burnished baked clay vessels in the shape of zebus (bull) from the Amlash region in Northwestern Iran. Dating back to approximately 1400-1000 BC, these terracotta masterpieces are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Iran. Standing at an impressive height of 39 cm, these vessels were skillfully crafted by artists from the Iranian School. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship highlight their artistic prowess and attention to detail. Each vessel captures the essence of a zebu, with its distinctive hump and majestic horns. Displayed proudly at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, this photograph allows us to appreciate these prehistoric treasures without being physically present. The Ashmolean Museum has carefully preserved and showcased these artifacts for generations to admire and learn from. The significance of these vessels extends beyond their aesthetic appeal; they provide valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of ancient civilizations that once thrived in Northwestern Iran. These vessels serve as a tangible link to our past, connecting us with those who came before us.
