EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Terracotta Fertility goddess, Ishtar (Astarte), dating back to Old Babylonian times around 2000 BC. Revered as the Mesopotamian deity of love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, combat, and political power, Ishtar held immense significance in ancient religious practices. Displayed at the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, this artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Mesopotamia. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this terracotta sculpture bring forth a sense of awe and wonder. It serves as a tangible link to an era long gone by. The image captures the essence of femininity with its depiction of Ishtar's divine female likeness. Crafted with utmost skill and precision from stone-like ceramics during the 21st century BC by skilled artisans from Babylonia or Babylonian region. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece today in the 21st century AD/CE under Mike Dixon's lens for Heritage Images' collection curated by CM Dixon; we are transported back through time into an era where gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently. This photograph not only preserves history but also evokes contemplation on concepts such as spirituality and human existence. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation; art continues to transcend boundaries - connecting us all through our shared human experiences across different civilizations.
