EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two exquisite Sumerian cult-statues, discovered during the groundbreaking excavations at Tell Asmar, located fifty miles northeast of Baghdad, Iraq, in May 1934. The meticulous unearthing of these ancient treasures marked a significant milestone in the exploration of Babylonian and Sumerian history. On the left, the striking Lord of Fertility statue stands proudly, approximately 30 inches in height when including its base. The intricately carved figure embodies the divine power of nature and abundance. His robust physique, adorned with a horned headdress, symbolizes strength and vitality. The Lord of Fertility was revered as a deity who ensured the prosperity of agriculture and the fertility of the land. To the right, the Mother Goddess statue, with a graceful and serene expression, adds a sense of nurturing and protection to this sacred scene. Her figure is adorned with elaborate jewelry and a crown, emphasizing her divine status. The Mother Goddess was believed to be the embodiment of love, compassion, and motherly care. She was the patron goddess of women and children, providing comfort and guidance in times of need. These cult-statues, now cherished relics of Sumerian history, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and religious practices of ancient civilizations. Their discovery has enriched our understanding of the complex and fascinating world of Sumeria and Babylon.
