EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Syria, dating back to the 7th-6th millennium BC. The image captures a steatopygous figure carved out of hardstone, standing at a height of 6.4 cm. This Neolithic sculpture is believed to represent a female deity associated with fertility and primitive worship. The intricate details of this statuette are awe-inspiring, revealing the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. The smooth curves and exaggerated proportions emphasize the figure's pronounced buttocks, commonly referred to as steatopygy - an attribute often associated with symbols of femininity and fertility in various cultures. As we gaze upon this ancient relic, it transports us back in time to an era when these figurines held great significance within society. They were revered as powerful symbols representing abundance, prosperity, and the divine feminine energy that governed creation itself. This particular piece hails from Syria's rich archaeological heritage, offering us valuable insights into their cultural practices during prehistoric times. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality and our eternal quest for understanding life's mysteries.
