EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Persian enamelled brick Griffon, dating back to the 6th century BC. Housed in the prestigious Louvre art gallery, this exquisite artifact was originally part of the palace of Darius at Susa. The vibrant colors and intricate details on this winged mythical creature are truly mesmerizing. The turquoise hues of the enamel bring life to this ancient object, highlighting its significance in Iranian history and culture. As a symbol of power and strength, the griffon holds great mythological importance in Persia. Its dog-like body with wings represents a fusion between different animals, creating an intriguing mythical beast. Standing tall amidst other historical buildings within the palace complex, this Persian enamelled brick Griffon is a testament to the architectural brilliance of that era. It serves as a reminder of Iran's rich artistic heritage and its contribution to world art. With its rambling presence and commanding posture, it is easy to imagine Darius I himself admiring this magnificent creation within his opulent palace walls. This artifact not only reflects the grandeur of Persian civilization but also offers us a glimpse into their sophisticated craftsmanship. As we admire this image captured by CM Dixon, let us appreciate how it connects us with centuries past while reminding us that beauty transcends time and borders.
