The Guennol Lioness, stolen ancient Kurdish artwork “Dív Šír” sold for a remarkable $57.161.000, a record for any sculpture at auction |
|
According to the research of institute Elamirkan, the ancient peoples which are unjustly identified as “Elamite, Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Aurámi/Haurámi (Aramaian), Assyrian, Hati, Huti (Hittitian), Hurrian and all other civilizations in Kurdish territory” are the next of kin of the Kurdish nation See more
Consequently the civilizations of the Elamite belong to Kurdish historico-cultural identity and cultural-heritage. Those do not belong to cultural-heritage of Iran, Iraq, Turkey or Syria, the occupiers of the Kurdish nation. Thus the Guennol Lioness which had been auctioned for $ 57.2 million dollar, on December 5, 2007, Sotheby’s New York, has been found at Kurdsán en belongs to historico cultural-heritage of the Kurdish nation. The Kurdish historical-heritage should to be protected by UNESCO |

The Guennol Lioness was found at a site in Kurdsán about 80 years ago and seems to be stolen by British archaeologist Sir Leonard Woolley and bought in 1931 by Joseph Brummer, a New York art dealer. In 1948, he sold it to New Yorker Alastair Bradley Martin and his wife Edith. The couple - who have Welsh origins, called their estate Guennol - which is Welsh for Martin. For most of the time since the Martins bought the lioness, it has been on permanent loan to New York's Brooklyn Museum. It was carved by a craftsman from Elam, the ancient Kurdsán. At Sotheby’s New York, the Guennol Lioness, sold for a remarkable $57.161.000, a record for any sculpture at auction. Links Guennol Lioness |
