EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of a nude female, depicted from the back view. Created during the 3rd-2nd century BC, this exquisite piece is crafted from alabaster and adorned with rubies and gold accents. Currently housed in the Louvre museum in Paris, France, it stands at an impressive height of 25 cm. The statuette represents various ancient goddesses such as Ashtart, Ishtar, and Astarte. It reflects both Greco-Babylonian and Mesopotamian influences, showcasing the rich cultural exchange that occurred during the Hellenistic and Parthian periods. With articulated arms and intricate detailing on her headdress, this figurine exudes elegance and grace. The crescent moon symbolizes fertility while adding a celestial touch to her appearance. The bottom view reveals meticulous craftsmanship that brings out every subtle curve of her form. Captured by Studio Giraudon in 1931, this photograph beautifully captures the essence of this timeless sculpture. Its artistic value lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to evoke awe-inspiring emotions through its delicate features. As we admire this stunning work of art today, we are reminded of the profound impact ancient civilizations have had on shaping our understanding of beauty and spirituality throughout human history.
