Around the throne of Khafre and kneeling statue of senenmut sculpture they both have a lot of symbols conveying a message written in hieroglyphic writing. On the Khafre sculpture there’s two lion bodies on the throne, symbols that can represent Egypt where they originated from; there are plants in between the legs, and a falcon representing the god of Lower Egypt. On the kneeling statue of senenmut it holds something in the middle that looks like a cobra. On top of it looks like a cup with a sun in it referring to the light or god. Around the throne and in the back there are a lot of symbols that might represent Egypt and Queen Hatshepsut and King Thutmose
Contrast and Comparison Between Plate of Dionysus and the Stela of Horus It is said that a picture paints a thousand words. Logically, then, a three dimensional object must evoke words beyond limitation and capture emotions that only the sculptor himself would have expressed. This seems to be the case in both the Plate of Dionysus of the Sasanian period and the Stela of Horus from Ancient Egypt. As they each embody the artistic era of their time, their influences can be seen in one and in the other. Both artifacts are tributes to the gods of their respective cultures, and they have certain commonalities yet they also have their own differences.
Test I - Essay Question 2 The Assyrian and Persian empires are both sources of several works of art that contribute to the ancient Near Eastern culture. I chose to compare and contrast two relief panels depicting the Assyrian and Persian kingship. The first is Assurnasirpal II Killing Lions found in the palace of its namesake, in Kalhu (modern Nimrud, Iraq) and dates to circa 875 – 860 BCE. The second relief panel is Darius and Xerxes Receiving Tribute, a processional frieze found in the Apadana stairway, in Persepolis, Iran; and it dates back to circa 521 – 465 BCE. These pieces not only showcase similarities and differences in style and technique but also the strong points of both empires and essentially the reason why Assurnasirpal and Darius were successful leaders, each in their own way.
The legacy is the perception of himself that the pharaoh left behind in the wake of his death. However, when the façade is pulled back, an entirely different figure is shown; the real Tutankhamun. Upon entering the tomb, the northern wall can immediately be glimpsed. The mural covering the wall depicts three different scenes. In one scene, Tut is identified in the form of Osiris, the God of the afterlife.
Jungsik LEE Art History I Mrs. Robinson-Odom 30 September 2013 Compare and Contrast Essay This time, I am going to compare ‘MENKAURE AND A QUEEN’ and ‘ANABYSOS KOUROS’.

A rock like substance was placed inside the figure which gives the instrument its' unique sound. The kneeling bull is similar to Bull Iyre which is a sort of harp that came from Ur. The Bull Iyre is from the civilization of the Near East which was used for music and also has human characteristics just like the Kneeling bull. The Bull Iyre has a beard just like men and has drawings of human like animals who are drawn on their hind legs doing tasks humans would do on a regular basis. During this time the people might have seen animals as very supreme creatures and placed them in ranks such as humans.
There are some clear differences in the way they are positioned and the way they are sculpted. The Lamassu was created with five legs. When you look straight at the Lamassu it is supposed to be looking like he is just standing there but when you look at him to the side it is supposed to look like he is in motion. Unlike the sphinx, which is laying on its stomach with its two front paws out and its face forward. Even though one was standing and one was lying down they were both meant for the same thing and that was to ward off the evil from the empire.
The Gundestup cauldron has many pieces from different cultures. In viewing the cauldron in full, the figures are in relief and opposite relief making this artifact much more interesting.

These deities are also represented by wall carvings and hangings, and sculptures of the various deities. In both the Northern and Southern temples, the wall carvings, wall hangings and sculptures tell the viewers the tales of the Gods, both their feats and their defeats, as well as representations of the various aspects of Hindu religious dogma such as the journey to the afterlife, and reincarnation. Kleiner also states that these temples are often joined on an East/West orientation, with rooms designed in a circular pattern. This represents the mandala, an important aspect of Hinduism that represents many different things including the circle of life from birth, death, to rebirth or reincarnation, to the Hindu view of the world as a whole, rather than a collection of elements. (Kleiner, p173) This can be seen not only in the East/West orientation but in the circular design of the temple leading to the inner rooms, shrines and sanctuaries seen in the Vishvanatha Temple.
