“Ice Cold” by Unknown Artist ☀

“Universe Cascade” at the Garden of Cosmic Speculation

Mikhail Gorstkin Vygotsky - "Winter Forest" (c.1900)

Standing female worshipper statue of limestone, inlaid with shell and lapis lazuli, Nippur, Mesopotamia, Sumerian, c. 2600-2500 BCE. Metropolitan Museum of Art (ID: 62.70.2) This statue of a standing woman with her hands clasped in front of her chest was found in the plasterings of a mud-brick bench located in one of the cellas of the Nippur temple of Inanna (Level VIIB), the Sumerian goddess of abundance. Her garment is draped over her left shoulder and falls in folds indicated by two incised lines along the border of the otherwise smooth fabric. The feet are carved in high relief against the back support and the toes and ankles are clearly indicated. The wavy hair is held in place by two plain bands, and curly locks hang down on either side of the face. Inlay of shell and lapis lazuli survives in her left eye.  (MET)
