About this title

Synopsis

Unearth the hidden flora of ancient power and learn how sacred trees, horns, and emblematic plants shaped Assyrian art and religion.

This volume surveys the flora found on Assyrian monuments, focusing on the sacred date tree, the horn motif, the lotus, and related symbols. It traces how Egyptian and Assyrian imagery mixed through time, leading to hybrid designs and evolving meanings on cylinders, monuments, and decorative arts. The discussion stays grounded in close observation of surviving carvings and historical context, offering a clear, accessible look at a rich symbolic world.

How date trees and horn emblems appear as sacred motifs across artifacts.
Connections between Egyptian and Assyrian decorative traditions and the emergence of new symbols.
How scholars interpret cylinders, carvings, and floral motifs to read ancient ideas.
Illustrative notes that illuminate the artistic relationship between flora and divinity in the ancient Near East.

Ideal for readers of archaeology, art history, and ancient symbolism who want a grounded, readability-focused exploration of Assyrian monuments.
