This print showcases a remarkable Votive stele, possibly depicting Tanit, carved out of limestone. Measuring 72x28 cm, this ancient artifact is housed in the prestigious Musee National du Bardo in Le Bardo, Tunisia. The stele is believed to represent Tanit, the Phoenician goddess of fertility and the heavens. With her divine influence extending over the stars and the moon, she was revered for her power to bring abundance and prosperity. This sculpture stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Carthage. Carved with intricate precision, this simple yet striking piece features an inscription that adds depth and significance to its symbolism. The Punic script etched onto its surface offers glimpses into ancient rituals and beliefs. The craftsmanship evident in this artwork reflects the skillful hands of Syrian artisans from centuries past. Its delicate carvings evoke a sense of reverence towards Tanit's celestial powers. As you gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, let your imagination wander back through time to an era when worshipers sought solace under Tanit's watchful eye. This Votive stele serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the profound spirituality that once thrived in Carthaginian society.
