EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable stone sculpture of Queen Ishtar, wife of King Hadad, from the ancient city of Tell Halaf in Syria. Created by the skilled artists of the Assyrian School, this artwork dates back to 2900-1350 BC and is now housed in the National Museum in Aleppo. Queen Ishtar's striking presence is immediately evident as she gazes out with her white eyes, capturing our attention and curiosity. As a symbol of power and divinity, she embodies the essence of goddesshood. Her regal stature and intricate details on her attire reflect her status as a queen. Known by various names such as Astarte or Hittite, Queen Ishtar was revered throughout history for her role as a deity associated with love, fertility, and war. This stone representation not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into the religious beliefs and cultural practices prevalent during that era.
