EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite hammered gold statuettes from ancient Phoenician art. On the left, we see the goddess Ishtar, also known as Inanna or Astarte, delicately crafted on a wafer-like plate. Her divine presence emanates through her graceful form and intricate details. To the right stands a fertility goddess with raised arms, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. This 15th century-12th century BC masterpiece was discovered at the site of Tink El Beida in Syria. The artist behind this remarkable work is Luisa Ricciarini, who skillfully captures the essence of these mythological characters through her metal carving expertise. The golden glow of these statuettes adds an ethereal quality to their already enchanting aura. These ancient artifacts provide us with a glimpse into prehistoric art and mythology in the Middle East. They serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Phoenicia and its artistic prowess. Displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, these precious treasures continue to captivate visitors with their timeless beauty and historical significance. As we marvel at their craftsmanship today, let us appreciate how they connect us to our ancestors' beliefs and stories that have shaped human civilization for centuries.
