EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Akkadian cylinder-seal impression of the esteemed scribe Adda, dating back to the 22nd century BC. The artwork depicts a momentous new year ritual, featuring prominent deities and winged figures that hold great significance in Akkadian culture. From left to right, we witness Ninurth, armed with a bow symbolizing power and protection. Next is Ishtar, gracefully adorned with wings denoting her divine nature as the goddess of love and war. Shamash follows suit, holding a sun-bird and saw which represent his role as the god of justice and solar deity. Lastly, Ea stands tall, embodying wisdom and knowledge. The vibrant colors used in this artifact bring life to these mythical beings who were revered by the people during that era. The meticulous craftsmanship on this seal impresses upon us the importance of religious rituals within their society. As we gaze at this image captured by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen for eternity - men standing before gods; humans seeking blessings from higher powers. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with spirituality throughout history.
