Description

<<<<Dating back to around 2800 years ago>>>> This is exactly one of the masterpieces of Luristan bronzes, preserved in major museums around the world, such as the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This piece is known as the Decorative Standard of Luristan (or the Luristan Bronze Standard). It symbolizes the cycle of life, fertility, and the spiritual power of humans in connection with animals. Features: • Cast in bronze with strikingly intricate details. • Formed as a circular frame filled with multiple human figures, intertwined in symmetrical poses. • At the base, quadruped animals (often horses or goats) are depicted. • At the top of the circle, a bird or animal figure sometimes appears, acting as a spiritual protector. • These objects were most likely mounted on chariots or used in religious rituals as decorative standards. Symbolism & Uniqueness: • Nowhere else in Iran or the wider ancient world has this exact form several human figures woven into an open, balanced circle been found. • It embodies the bold creativity of Luristan artists, who advanced beyond functional craft into symbolism and philosophy. • Such standards were used in ritual ceremonies, funerary practices, and as tribal emblems or insignia. شوربختانه این درفش جزو آثار به یغمارفته از ایران در پایان قرن نوزدهم میلادی است که در سال ۱۸۹۳ میلادی در تملک موزه لوور پاریس درآمد. هرچند که طی تفاهم‌نامه‌ای مدتی در موزه ملی ایران هم نمایش داده شد
