EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Moses, probably 12th century" transports us back in time to the medieval era. Standing at a height of 23 cm, this ancient artwork is housed within the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The figure depicted here is none other than Moses himself, an iconic biblical character revered by both Christian and Jewish faiths. With his pensive expression and weathered appearance, this portrayal captures the wisdom and age of the prophet as described in the Old Testament. Crafted with intricate detail, every feature on this statuette exudes religious significance. Holding what appears to be a tablet symbolizing divine law, Moses stands as a powerful representation of spirituality and devotion. Believed to have been created during Romanesque times by an anonymous artist, this sculpture serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious fervor. Its presence within the Ashmolean Museum allows visitors from all walks of life to appreciate its historical value. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of its cultural importance but also its ability to transcend time and connect us with our shared human history.
