Standard of Ur Mosaic, War Panel, 2600 BC
Bildnummer 12653075
| The Standard of Ur comes from the ancient city of Ur (modern Iraq south of Baghdad). It dates to the Early Dynastic period and is 4, 600 years old. The standard was probably constructed in the form of a hollow wooden box with scenes of war and peace represented on each side through elaborately inlaid mosaics. Although interpreted as a standard, its original purpose remains enigmatic. It was found in a royal tomb in the 1920s next to the skeleton of a ritually sacrificed man. The war panel shows the king in the middle of the top register, standing taller than any other figure, with his head projecting out of the frame to emphasize his supreme status. In the middle register, eight virtually identically depicted soldiers give way to a battle scene, followed by a depiction of enemies being captured and led away. The lower register shows four chariots, each carrying a charioteer and a warrior and drawn by a team of four equids. | |
