Description of STL - Figure of the Night Goddess Lilith
This intricate figure represents Lilith, the Sumerian Goddess of the Night, an ancient deity associated with darkness, the night, and nature spirits. The figure, carved from limestone, depicts Lilith standing on lions, with eagles in her hands, symbolizing her power over nature and the spirit world. Her slender figure with outstretched wings and a distinctive crown identify her as a figure of divine authority. On either side, owls are observed, traditionally representing wisdom and a connection to the underworld. The lions at her feet symbolize her dominion over strength and power. The level of detail and iconography suggest this piece originated in ancient Mesopotamia, likely during the Neo-Babylonian period. It is a masterful representation of the art and religious beliefs of the era, ideal for collectors of antiquities or those interested in ancient mythology. Resin printing is recommended to capture the fine details of the sculpture.
