EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Dish: The Goddess Anahita, a silver gilt masterpiece created by the Sasanian School between 400-600 AD. Measuring 4.6x21.6 cm, this remarkable artwork is housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The dish depicts Anahita, an iconic figure from Zoroastrian mythology known as the goddess of water and fertility. She represents one of the last remnants of ancient Near Eastern nude mother goddesses, embodying both power and grace. With its intricate details and delicate craftsmanship, this dish captures a moment frozen in time - a celebration of movement and dance. The image portrays dancers gracefully moving around Anahita's divine presence, their bodies adorned with silver gilt attire that shimmers under the light. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are transported to another era where art was not only an expression but also a form of worship. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with beauty and spirituality throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art finder collection, we can now appreciate this extraordinary work from our own homes. Let us immerse ourselves in its enchanting allure and pay homage to both the artist who brought it to life centuries ago and those who have preserved it for generations to come.
