EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Eastern antiquity: a bronze statuette of the demonic deity Pazuzu from Assyria. Created during the Neo-Assyrian period around 1000-612 BC in Mesopotamia, this artifact is estimated to be approximately 700 years old. Currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, it is a remarkable representation of ancient art and mythology. Pazuzu, a mythological character with devilish features, is depicted here with intricate detail and craftsmanship. The statuette's menacing expression and monstrous appearance are skillfully captured by the Assyrian School artist who created it. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Assyria and its influence on art throughout history. The significance of Pazuzu lies within his role as both protector against evil spirits and bringer of misfortune himself. In ancient Mesopotamian beliefs, he was invoked for protection against malevolent forces but also feared for his own destructive powers. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary piece of Middle Eastern antiquity. The carving's historical context adds depth to our understanding of ancient civilizations and their complex belief systems. As we admire this bronze statuette, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to connect us with distant cultures that have shaped our world today.
