EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to a bygone era, where baked straw-tempered clay takes shape as an extraordinary plaque from Southern Iraq. Dating all the way back to 1792-1750 BC during the reign of Babylonian King Hammurabi, this artifact unveils the mesmerizing Queen of the Night herself – an ancient Mesopotamian goddess. Once adorned with vibrant red hues, this regal figure astounds us with her clawed feet and majestic wings that seem ready for flight. But what truly captures our attention are the two wise owls perched nearby, their eyes fixed on Her Majesty's every move. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, it's impossible not to wonder about the stories and beliefs that surrounded these mystical creatures and their divine ruler. Were they guardians? Messengers? Or perhaps just curious spectators? One thing is certain: David Tipling has masterfully captured a moment that bridges millennia, inviting us to explore a world where gods mingled with mortals and owls whispered secrets in moonlit nights. So let your imagination take flight alongside these enchanting birds and people; immerse yourself in history reimagined through artistry!
