Description
Français : Les étendards ou idoles sont le type d’objets d’art le plus caractéristique du Luristan entre les 13ème et 8ème siècle avant Jésus-Christ. La provenance exacte de ces exemplaires est inconnue car issue du marché de l’art du début du XXème siècle. Mais depuis 1970, son utilisation est connue par la découverte à Tattulban (Luristan) d’un étendard sur son socle. D’autres découvertes ont permis d’établir une chronologie de ces objets en fonction de leur style. Les plus anciens datent du treizième siècle et son t composé de thème naturalistes (bouquetins, fauves, lions léopards) tandis que les plus récents (jusqu’au huitième siècle) sont plus stylisés allant jusqu’à représenter un personnage humain - parfois hybride rappelant le thème du maître des animaux - tenant dans ses mains deux fauves par le cou. La fonction exacte de ses étendards et la signification des idoles restent incertaines, les chercheurs savent seulement que celles-ci se trouvent aux côtés d’armes dans des tombes de ce qui devait être des guerriers.
English: Banners or idols were the most characteristic type of art in Luristan between the 13th and 8th centuries BC. The exact provenance of these copies is unknown as they originated from the art market of the early 20th century. But since 1970, its use is known by the discovery in Tattulban (Luristan) of a standard on its base. Other discoveries have made it possible to establish a chronology of these objects according to their style. The oldest date from the thirteenth century and its t composed of naturalist themes (ibex, wild animals, leopard lions) while the most recent (until the eighth century) are more stylized, going as far as representing a human character - sometimes hybrid recalling the theme of the master of animals - holding in his hands two big cats by the neck. The exact function of its standards and the meaning of the idols remain unclear, researchers only know that they are found alongside weapons in the graves of what were to be warriors.
