EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite head of a statue of Ishtar, an ancient Babylonian goddess. The intricate headdress adorning her divine countenance adds to the allure and grandeur of this Mesopotamian masterpiece. Dating back to 2800-2300 BC, this alabaster sculpture is believed to have originated from the Temple of Ushtar at Mari in Syria. Ishtar's striking eyes seem to hold centuries worth of wisdom and mystery, drawing viewers into the depths of her mythical realm. As one gazes upon this artifact, they are transported back in time, immersing themselves in the rich culture and antiquity that defined ancient Babylonia. The craftsmanship displayed in this sculpture reflects the artistic prowess of the Assyrian School. Every delicate detail has been meticulously carved with precision and skill, showcasing their dedication to creating timeless works of art. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left by Arab civilization in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes our collective human history - reminding us of our roots and connection to cultures that thrived thousands of years ago. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece from National Museum Damascus, Syria - preserving its beauty for generations to come.
