EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Funerary stele representing a tradesman with a small balance for coinage, dating back to the 8th Century B. C. This ancient artifact is housed in the Musee du Louvre in Paris and belongs to the realm of Hittite art. The stele depicts an Anatolian craftsman, capturing his likeness in exquisite detail. Standing tall and vertical, it serves as a solemn reminder of the trade and commerce that once thrived during this era. The absence of people adds an air of mystery, allowing us to focus on the intricate craftsmanship. The tradesman is portrayed holding a small balance scale used for weighing coins - symbolizing his involvement in finance and commerce. A money bag rests at his feet, hinting at his wealth and success as well as its significance even after death. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back through time to witness not only the artistic prowess but also gain insights into societal values during this period. It reminds us that even thousands of years ago, individuals strived for financial prosperity and recognition within their respective professions. This photograph offers us an opportunity to appreciate both historical artistry and cultural heritage while contemplating our own relationship with money and mortality.
