EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Hand Drummer, a solid cast bronze sculpture dating back to 900-700 BC. Created by the Assyrian School, this exquisite piece measures 7.3x3.8 cm and is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Believed to be one of several plaques adorning the side of a throne, this artwork offers a glimpse into ancient musical traditions. The drummer's elaborate hairstyle and attire bear striking resemblance to those depicted on a colossal wall relief situated adjacent to this display. Consequently, it is highly likely that both artworks originate from around the same period. The musician portrayed here belongs to the 10th century and skillfully plays his hand drum with great finesse. This intricate cast bronze plaque not only captures his rhythmic movements but also conveys an air of musicality and passion for music itself. With its rich historical significance and artistic craftsmanship, this Assyrian masterpiece serves as a testament to the enduring power of music throughout time. It symbolizes our innate human desire for self-expression through sound and rhythm. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction techniques, we can now appreciate every detail of this remarkable artifact up close. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - connecting with our ancestors who too found solace and joy in creating beautiful melodies through their drums.
