EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing statue of a goddess, dating back to the 6th millennium BC. Crafted from terracotta by the skilled hands of ancient Mesopotamian artisans, this remarkable artifact is now housed in the prestigious Iraq Museum in Baghdad. With its origins rooted in the neolithic era, this female statuette was discovered at Tell es Sawwan and holds immense historical significance. The intricate details of this deity's form are truly awe-inspiring. From her delicately carved facial features to her gracefully elongated body, every aspect exudes an air of divine elegance. The artist's mastery is evident as they have expertly captured both strength and femininity within this sculpture. As we gaze upon this ancient relic, we can't help but wonder about the beliefs and rituals it once represented. Was she worshipped as a fertility goddess or perhaps revered for her protective powers? Regardless of her specific role, there is no denying that she held great importance within the spiritual realm of Samarra. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' impeccable reproduction quality, we are able to appreciate every nuance and texture preserved on this timeless piece. This print serves as a window into our distant past, allowing us to connect with an era long gone yet forever imprinted on humanity's collective memory.
