Description
This powerful work vividly reminds us that warfare and violence have been part of man's heritage since before recorded time. An elaborately coiffured, heavily muscled individual prepares to sacrifice a kneeling vanquished enemy, depicted--as were the foes of Egypt's Pharoahs--as being much smaller. It is a piece of lasting impact, one which awakens in us the realization of how far the world has come and how little it has changed. - (PF.0980)
