EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Babylonian terracotta statuette of Astarte, also known as Ishtar, from the Louvres collection. Standing tall and proud, this female deity holds great significance in ancient religious arts. Originating from Susa in Iran, this stunning piece of art reflects the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted beliefs of its country. The intricate details on this 16th-century BC statue are truly remarkable. The artist skillfully captures the essence of femininity with precision and finesse. Adorned with vibrant colors, every inch of this terracotta masterpiece tells a story about the worship of deities during that era. Astarte's presence symbolizes fertility and power, making her an important figure in Babylonian mythology. Her semi-naked form emphasizes her divine beauty while representing her role as a goddess associated with love and sexuality. Displayed at the Louvre art gallery, this artifact is not just an object but a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its discovery sheds light on ancient civilizations like Babylonia and Canaanite cultures that revered Astarte as their supreme deity. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon from AccuSoft Inc. , we can now appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship behind this extraordinary work of art. Let us marvel at its timeless allure and pay homage to those who have preserved it for generations to come.
