EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing depiction of a god, possibly Nergal, holding a lion-headed sceptre in each hand. The artwork originates from Old Babylonian times in Kish during the 3rd millennium BC and is currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The god portrayed here exudes an aura of power and authority as he confidently wields his lion-headed sceptres. These symbols are not only visually striking but also carry deep mythological significance. Nergal, known as the destructive sun god during summer and ruler of hell, was revered for his immense strength and feared for his wrathful nature. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact, we are transported back to a time when mythology played a vital role in shaping beliefs and understanding divine forces. The intricate details on this pottery piece highlight the skillful craftsmanship of Babylonian artists who sought to bring their deities to life through art. This image invites us to contemplate the complexities of ancient civilizations and their reverence for mythical beings. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have sought solace and guidance from higher powers beyond our mortal realm. Let us marvel at this extraordinary representation of divinity captured by Bridgeman Images' fine art collection while honoring its historical context and cultural significance.
