EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 5th-6th century - a magic bowl adorned with an incantation text in Judeo-Aramaic and featuring an image of the infamous demon Lilith. Housed within the esteemed Collection of Musee de la Castre in Cannes, this terracotta masterpiece offers a glimpse into ancient mythology and the rich cultural heritage of the Sasanian Empire. The intricate design on this magical bowl is steeped in symbolism and allegory, reflecting both religious beliefs and literary traditions prevalent during that era. Lilith, often associated with darkness and seduction, takes center stage as she embodies both fear and fascination. The presence of her image suggests that this vessel may have been used for protective or ritualistic purposes. As we delve deeper into its historical significance, we are transported to a time when the Sassanian Dynasty reigned supreme over Persia. This period witnessed great advancements in artistry, evident through the exquisite craftsmanship displayed on this piece. The fine details etched onto its surface speak volumes about Sassanian art's mastery. Preserved meticulously by Musée de la Castre, this enchanting relic serves as a testament to our collective human history.
