EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dish with relief decoration depicting the goddess Anahita, accompanied by eight female figures. The silver dish, measuring 25 cm in diameter, is housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The intricate carving on this ancient Persian artifact reflects the rich artistic heritage of the Sassanian era. Anahita, also known as Anaitis, was revered as the goddess of fertility and played a significant role in Persian mythology. She is depicted here surrounded by eight women adorned in elegant attire. Anahita's divine presence is palpable as she stands at the center of this cosmic ocean scene. As the deity associated with water and motherhood, she represents both femininity and power. Her association with stars and the moon further emphasizes her celestial nature. Intriguingly, Anahita is also recognized as Mithras' mother - an important figure in Zoroastrianism. This portrayal highlights her significance within religious beliefs during that time period. The craftsmanship displayed on this dish exemplifies Persian artistry at its finest. Each delicate detail tells a story of ancient traditions and cultural symbolism that continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where gods and goddesses reigned supreme - reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with mythological beings throughout history.
