The goddess of the vase from Mari's Palace!!! I love the symbol of the water vase, and i adore the fact that this statue was really connected with a water canal through the vase. Zimri-Lim's palace in Mari was huge and sooo well decorated i love it.

I've heard of her! I'll research more about her thank you!!

Hope yall appreciate this personal interpretation of her :3

im sorry not my usual art but I made this silly drawing of monty python and the holy grail and i wanted to share it😽😽

Next I want to make an Humbaba portrait but first I need to search deep in the archaeological sources since in the text there are little to no infos about his aestetich!! 👋👋

Was reading Claudius' reign from Tacitus' Annales and this part made me go crazy ngl !!

one of my fav ulpian women, mother of Vibia Sabina and niece of the emperor Trajan!

(i needed to study for my exam but guess what...)

here my personal interpretation of this statue from the etruscan Cannicella necropolis near Velzna(Volsinii-Orvieto). Even though the name is "Venus" , the identification of the figure is still unsure, but prob decipt a goddess linked to fertility and maternity, probably Vei (such as "Demeter" of the Greek pantheon) since her cult is attested in the cannicella sanctuary from VI sec bc . Its a really good example of the new artistic style from the ionic Greek colonies and imported in Etruria during the VI sec bc.Its mostly known characteristic is the "smiling mouth":)
