EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Stone statue of the Hittite Storm God Tarhunzas, also known as Tarhius or Teshub, displayed at the Louvre in Paris, France. The intricate carving and detailed bas reliefs on this ancient sculpture showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the Hittite civilization.
The imposing figure of Tarhunzas is depicted riding a bull, symbolizing power and strength. His distinctive forked hat and regal pose exude an aura of divine authority. The stone block from which he emerges seems to come alive with energy, as if ready to unleash a storm upon those who dare challenge his might.
As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of art from the Near East, it is impossible not to be drawn into the mystical world of Hittite mythology. The god's presence is palpable, commanding reverence and awe from all who behold him.
