Sculptors in Mesopotamia
Sculptors in Mesopotamia, especially in the Assyrian era, were distinguished by their craftsmanship and high precision in sculpting and showing the smallest details.
In this photo, we see details of a hand holding a bucket of water
Notice how the hand was carved... where we see the chamomile flower bracelet, with amazing details and measurements!
What is interesting is how the movement of the hand muscles contracts while holding the bucket and how the fingers close on themselves!
In addition to all this creativity in Assyrian sculpture, the sculptors engraved writings in cuneiform letters and symbols at a certain level of the mural, making that writing part of the scene and explaining it, without affecting the aesthetics of the sculpture.
Notice the elegantly trimmed nails!
You are in front of the creations of Assyrian sculpture
The mural is currently in the British Museum
