EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette entitled "Woman with the shawl, woman holding an aryballos, front view". Created during the Neo-Sumerian period around 2150 BC, this ancient artifact hails from Telloh (ancient Girsu) and now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Standing at a height of 17.8 cm, this chlorite sculpture depicts a princess or priestess adorned in an exquisite pleated and flounced dress. With her hands gently clasped together on her lap, she exudes an air of serenity and grace. Her headdress is intricately decorated with a headband and veil that cascade down her back. The significance of this statuette lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its purpose as an offering for the life of Gudea, possibly representing a goddess. The attention to detail is evident as every element has been meticulously crafted by skilled Mesopotamian artisans. Photographed by Giraudon Studio in 1926, this image captures the delicate features of the sculpture while highlighting its intricate design. It provides us with a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Mesopotamia. As we admire this extraordinary piece through time's lens, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with artistry and devotion to spirituality across civilizations.
