1936 Chamber Dynasty Lachish Masked Priests Seated Figures Shrine Tel Deweir Temple Stone Bench

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the Tel Deweir Lachish Sanctuary, a temple dating back to the XVIII-XIX dynasty. The image showcases a remarkable scene of ancient worship and devotion. In the foreground, we see seated figures wearing masks, seemingly guarding what lies behind them. Their presence adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this sacred space. A stone bench is also visible, suggesting that it may have been used for ceremonial purposes or as a place for worshippers to rest. As our gaze moves further into the photograph, we are greeted by a magnificent shrine adorned with intricate carvings and symbols. This beautifully crafted structure stands proudly atop an altar, serving as a focal point for religious rituals. Beyond the shrine, there is a chamber that was likely reserved for priests' use. It provides them with privacy and seclusion as they perform their sacred duties within this hallowed sanctuary. Taken in 1936 in Israel, this print allows us to glimpse into the past and marvel at the architectural wonders created by ancient civilizations. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual connection throughout history.
