EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient figurines of Asherah, dating back to 999-600 BC. Crafted from clay during the Bronze Age, these delicate sculptures are a testament to the rich Canaanite culture. The figurines depict Asherah, also known as Ashtoreth or Astrate, who was revered as the goddess of fertility and served as the consort of El or Biblical Baal. These figurines were worshipped by households and held great significance in Canaanite society. They symbolized protection, prosperity, and abundance within domestic settings. With their intricate details and remarkable craftsmanship, these statuettes offer a glimpse into the religious practices of that era. The presence of prominent breasts on these idols highlights Asherah's association with fertility and nurturing qualities. Made from ceramic earthenware, each piece exudes a sense of timelessness despite its age. This particular print captures every nuance and detail with precision thanks to eZev Radovan's expert photography skills. It is now part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing due to its out-of-copyright status. As we admire this image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to an era when deities like Asherah played an integral role in people's lives – offering solace and hope amidst life's challenges.
