EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Figurine of Asherah. Crafted between 999-600 BC, this clay sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Canaanite civilization. Asherah, also known as Ashtoreth or Astrate, was revered as the goddess of fertility and served as the consort to El, the principal god in Canaanite mythology. This figurine represents her divine presence and was worshipped by many as a house deity. The intricate craftsmanship evident in this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring. The delicate female figure stands tall with an air of grace and power. Every contour and detail has been meticulously sculpted into the clay, showcasing the skill and artistry of its creator. As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, we are transported back to an era where pagan idols held great significance in daily life. This statuette not only serves as a window into ancient religious practices but also offers us insight into domestic rituals within Canaanite society. Preserved through time with care, this ceramic earthenware piece now resides in a private collection for all to admire. Thanks to eZev Radovan's expert photography skills capturing every nuance, we can appreciate its beauty even more deeply. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to connect with our ancestors' beliefs and marvel at their artistic achievements that continue to captivate us today.
