Dating back to approximately 2334-2004 BC, this female figure stands at a height of 15.9 cm and exudes an air of divine power and grace. With her arms outstretched, she assumes a striking pose that immediately captures attention. The artist has skillfully stylized every detail, creating a statuette that is both elegant and enigmatic. This depiction is believed to represent a goddess or perhaps serve as a votive offering. The intricate craftsmanship evident in this piece transports us back to ancient times, allowing us to marvel at the artistic achievements of civilizations long gone. The delicate features and meticulous sculpting reveal the dedication and talent possessed by these early artists. Now preserved within a private collection, this photograph offers us an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and significance of ancient art forms without commercial intentions overshadowing its true value. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
