EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1922 showcases Nu Kua Shih, the mother goddess of Chinese mythology. The image, captured by an unknown creator, is a depiction of Nu Gua, a snake goddess who is credited with creating humankind and inventing the concept of marriage. This portrayal can be found in "Myths and Legends of China" by E. T. C. Werner. Nu Kua Shih is depicted as a powerful deity with her head adorned in vibrant yellow and green colors, symbolizing her divine nature. Her coiled snake body represents her association with reptiles and adds to the mystical aura surrounding her. The photograph not only captures the religious significance but also highlights the cultural heritage of China during this time period. It offers us a glimpse into the artistic traditions prevalent in early 20th-century China. As we observe this stunning portrait, we are reminded of Nu Kua's role as both a matchmaker and creator figure within Chinese mythology. Her presence resonates through centuries as she continues to inspire awe and reverence among those who encounter her story. This print serves as a testament to the rich mythology that has shaped Chinese culture for generations, inviting viewers to explore ancient tales that have stood the test of time.
