EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent statue dedicated to the god Haddad-Yishi, crafted from basalt by Assyrian artisans in the 9th century BC. The artwork is currently housed at the National Museum in Damascus, Syria, and has been expertly captured by photographer Peter Willi. The statue itself is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Assyria, featuring intricate details such as a bilingual Assyrian Aramean inscription and clasped hands. The figure's curly beard adds an air of wisdom and authority, while its powerful presence evokes reverence for Haddad-Yishi. Haddad was an important deity in ancient Near Eastern mythology associated with storms and rain, often depicted as a warrior wielding thunderbolts. Yishi refers to his divine consort or wife. This sculpture not only represents religious devotion but also serves as a reminder of the artistic prowess of the Assyrians. Peter Willi's skillful photography captures every nuance of this remarkable piece, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when gods were worshipped fervently and art served as both spiritual expression and cultural preservation.
