EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry and mythology. The image captures a carved ivory lid depicting the Mycenian goddess of fertility as an animal master. Originating from Twink El Beida, Syria in the 13th century BC, this artifact is now housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris. The intricate carving on the ivory lid depicts a powerful woman who embodies both beauty and strength. As she stands tall, surrounded by various animals, she exudes an aura of control and mastery over these creatures. Her presence evokes a sense of awe and reverence. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Arab civilization during ancient times. It reflects their belief in mythological characters and pagan practices that were prevalent in Middle Eastern societies. The craftsmanship exhibited through this carved masterpiece is truly exceptional. Every detail has been meticulously sculpted to bring life to each animal depicted alongside the goddess. The smoothness of the ivory surface adds to its allure, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to witness an era where art served not only as decoration but also as a medium for storytelling and spiritual expression. This image serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to appreciate the artistic achievements that have shaped our world today.
