Description: RARE ANCIENT SYRO TEL BRAK STONE CARVED ALL SEEING EYE IDOL - CIRCA 3000 BCEEmerging from the fertile plains of ancient Mesopotamia is this enigmatic artefact, an All Seeing Eye idol from the ancient site of Tel Brak, situated in what is now Syria. Tel Brak, with its history spanning thousands of years, was a pivotal centre of early urban civilization, bearing witness to numerous cultures and empires that rose and fell in the broader Mesopotamian landscape.This idol, carved meticulously from stone, is a testament to the advanced craftsmanship and profound spiritual beliefs of the Tel Brak inhabitants. The eye, as an iconographic symbol, has been omnipresent across various cultures, typically signifying divine watchfulness, protection, and sometimes, omnipotence. The All Seeing Eye is a symbol that transcends the boundaries of cultures and eras, and in the context of Tel Brak, it could represent a protective deity, an amulet against the evil eye, or a symbol of an omnipresent god or goddess.The prominence and detail given to the eye in this idol suggest its significance in rituals or as a protective talisman. Considering the spiritual milieu of ancient Mesopotamia, where gods and goddesses were believed to reside in idols, it's possible that this artefact was seen not just as a representation but an actual embodiment of divine presence.The craftsmanship of this artefact, with its detailed carving and attention to the eye's anatomy, showcases the sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities of the people of Tel Brak. This wasn't merely a symbolic rendering; it was an artistic and spiritual endeavour, likely created by skilled artisans who were deeply attuned to their cultural and spiritual milieu.For collectors and enthusiasts of ancient art and spirituality, this All Seeing Eye idol from Tel Brak is more than just an artefact. It's a window into an ancient worldview, a civilization's attempt to understand, appease, and connect with the divine. In its silent gaze, one can almost feel the weight of millennia, the whispered prayers of ancient priests, and the hopes and fears of a people long gone. ** WE COMBINE SHIPPING ** PROVENANCE: All items are acquired from legitimate sources such as established galleries, International coin fairs and old British and European collections.
