1936 Backing Close View Doorway Floor Lachish Pierced Tel Deweir Axis Plastered Santuary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1936 in Tel Deweir, Israel. The image showcases a close view of three steps that lead into the sanctuary of a solar shrine dating back to the Persian period. The architectural details are fascinating, with each step backing into the sacred space. Intriguingly, right in the axis of the doorway stands a small hole pierced through the plastered floor. This discovery suggests that this spot might have been used for libations or ritualistic offerings during ancient times. The photograph beautifully captures not only the historical significance but also provides a glimpse into an era long gone. It transports us to an archaeological site where remnants of past civilizations still hold secrets waiting to be unraveled. As we admire this print, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both artistry and history within its frame. It serves as a reminder of our collective human heritage and invites us to explore and appreciate ancient cultures that have shaped our present world. This remarkable piece is part of Liszt Collection's extensive archives, which tirelessly preserve and share glimpses into different periods across various regions worldwide.
