This print showcases a remarkable Babylonian boundary-stone, adorned with intricate symbols representing the Gods. The stone serves as a powerful testament to the ancient civilization of Babylonia and their deep-rooted religious beliefs. In this close-up shot, the vibrant colors of black and various shades come alive, highlighting every detail etched onto the surface. The star-shaped shape adds an element of mystique and celestial significance to this artifact. One symbol that particularly stands out is that of a turtle, signifying aquatic life in Babylonian mythology. As we delve into its rich history, we uncover how these deities were believed to protect land deeds from harm or misfortune.
