The Chariot and the Horses Sculpted in wood 80×40

Description

The Assyrian bas-relief from Persepolis illustrates with exceptional finesse a symbolic scene from the life and traditions of the Assyrian tribes. Carved in stone, it depicts human figures in procession, often adorned with richly detailed clothing and elaborate hairstyles, testifying to their rank and social status. Armed warriors, musicians playing instruments, and bearers of offerings coexist in a harmonious composition. The expressive faces reflect the importance of rites and ceremonies in Assyrian culture.

The relief is also adorned with floral and geometric motifs, which enhance the aesthetic and highlight the craftsmen's meticulous attention to detail. The scene embodies a visual narrative of the values of order, power, and devotion typical of Assyrian civilization. Although Persepolis is a Persian city, this bas-relief reflects the artistic influence of neighboring cultures, such as Assyria, revealing cultural interaction and a shared heritage.

This artwork is crafted in solid laminated oak, carefully shaped to the accurate shape of the original relief using 3D modeling and CNC milling, then meticulously hand-finished by the artists of the domain. Every detail is worked with precision to highlight the work and perfect its aesthetics, reflecting unique artistic know-how and a concern for excellence.
