EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the statue of Itur-Shamagen, the revered King of Mari, deep in prayer. The sculpture originates from Mari, situated along the Middle Euphrates River, and dates back to an astonishing period between 2800-2300 BC. Crafted by skilled Mesopotamian artisans, this alabaster masterpiece is now housed at the National Museum in Damascus, Syria. Intriguingly adorned with a goatskin skirt known as a kaunakes, Itur-Shamagen exudes an air of regality and spiritual devotion. His majestic presence is further enhanced by his striking beard and clasped hands held firmly together in prayerful reverence. The influence of Sumerian worshipper can be seen in this remarkable artwork; it serves as a testament to the rich cultural exchange that occurred during ancient times. The image beautifully captures the essence of male piety and solemnity en priere. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back through time to witness a moment frozen for eternity - an intimate glimpse into the sacred rituals and beliefs that shaped civilizations millennia ago.
