Ur's princess

Posted Jan 26, 2006, 2:14:01 AM UTC

Ah,never thought that my classes might be a source of inspiration!!! This is just somehing i drew like that, i might rework on it or simply do something new with this Sumerian princess, or do nothing at all. When i saw her, i had an epiphany!!!!!

For those interested. She was found in a royal tomb in the city of Ur (up north the persian gulf), she probably lived in 2600-2700 bc, her skull was found with all the jewelery you see here. here is the link of the real jewelery and head set they found in 1924, with a representation of what the princess might have looked like.:)

    This is quite an exquisite sketch of this princess that you did Lisi. And she really had all of that stuff on her? Even that head ornament thingy? Do you think she suffered from headaches? Laughing Anyway, your details in this are really good especially for it only being a sketch. I would have driven myself crazy drawing all of those beads. >_< But she looks very beautiful. What an awesome piece of history for you to share with us. Much love. *hugs*

    Hey, this is pretty impressive. The only thing that draws my attention is her neck, I think it's a bit thick. Otherwise great job Lili.Big Smile Nice to see you're inspired by history, I haven't seen much art on it. Not lately anyway. I assume she was burried with that jewelery. Wonder how it wasn't stolen. Haven't talked to you for a while. How you're doing, school and all?

      Thanks Atlantis! The teacher showed us the photo of the skull with all the jewelery and afterward the picture. I thought she looked beautifull. It wasn't stolen because everything was hidden under sand,debris and other civilisation. School...Smile I'll have to pm you about that!

        Yeah, must've been hard to dig out all the debris and sand. Unlike the Pyramides. lol... Did you know Ur is where Abraham came from? That's what we've been told at judaism class.
