EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statue of a Parthian princess, taken in Hatra (Al-Hadr), Iraq, in 1977. Hatra was once a thriving religious and trading hub located in modern north-western Iraq, flourishing between approximately 400 BC and 300 AD. During the 1st and 2nd century BC, it held great significance as an important city within the Parthian Empire. The image captures the exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient sculpture, which stands as a testament to the rich history and artistry of the region. Carved from stone with meticulous attention to detail, the statue portrays an elegant female figure believed to be of royal lineage. The princess exudes grace and poise through her regal posture and finely chiseled features. The ruins surrounding this magnificent artwork add depth to its historical context. Pillars rise sharply into the sky behind her, remnants of once grand buildings that adorned Hatra's landscape centuries ago. This photograph by Vivienne Sharp transports us back in time to witness both the architectural marvels and artistic mastery that characterized this ancient civilization. As we admire this striking piece captured during the vibrant seventies era, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its invaluable contribution to our understanding of Parthian culture. Through archaeological sites like Hatra, we gain insight into past civilizations' achievements while fostering respect for their enduring legacy.
