EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning print of votive figures that were unearthed at Nippur, Iraq, dating back to approximately 2800 BC. Crafted from alabaster and adorned with gold accents, these Mesopotamian artifacts exude an air of ancient grandeur. The figures depicted in the photo are believed to represent Sumerian high priests or gods. Their bearded faces and stylized features embody the artistic style prevalent during this era. Each statuette stands as a testament to the devotional practices and religious beliefs of the Babylonian civilization. Dressed in intricately designed skirts, these figurines stand tall as miniature sculptures that have withstood the test of time. The level of detail captured in this image is truly remarkable, allowing viewers to appreciate both their historical significance and artistic beauty. Photographed by eDavid Lees for his private collection, this print offers a glimpse into one of humanity's earliest civilizations. With its out-of-copyright status, it serves as a valuable resource for art enthusiasts and historians alike who seek to explore the rich cultural heritage embedded within such masterpieces.
