This print showcases a terracotta statuette of the goddess Lama, dating back to the 2nd millennium BC. Currently housed in The Louvre, this artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Susa, Iran. The statuette exudes an air of concept and romance, with its intricate details and elegant form. It symbolizes love and fertility, embodying the divine power associated with deities like Astarte and Ishtar. Its vibrant colors bring life to this ancient ceramic sculpture. As we gaze upon this religious relic from Elamite civilization, we are transported back in time to a land steeped in mysticism and devotion. The craftsmanship displayed here speaks volumes about the artistic prowess of ancient Persia. The location itself adds another layer of significance to this remarkable piece. Susa was once an important center for religion and culture in Iran, making it all the more fitting for such a deity-like figure to emerge from its soil.
