Minneapolis Museum of Art Double Eagle Wine Jar

Minneapolis Museum of Art Double Eagle Wine Jar

It is an ancient artifact from the 12th to 11th centuries BC, shaped like two eagle heads facing each other. This artifact may have been used in religious ceremonies or as a symbol of power, as eagles symbolize strength and freedom in many cultures. They may be used as containers, and sometimes as decorations or gifts. The design of the Double Eagle not only showcases the superb craftsmanship of the craftsmen at that time, but also reflects the artistic style and social beliefs of that era. These types of artifacts were discovered during archaeological excavations, providing valuable physical evidence for our understanding of ancient civilizations. Now collected at the Minneapolis Museum of Art.
