Inanna 8"

Invite Home the Goddess who invented Civilization. The flowering of Sumeria, its temples, ordered cities, irrigated fields, birthplace of cuneiform writing and codes of law, and mastery of terra-cotta arts, all offer tribute to the first Great Goddess named by history. Bejeweled and serene, her chalice-shaped form was worshipped as early as 7000 BCE.

Inanna of Power 6"

Inanna of Power, Goddess of Battle. Just as she images fertility, the Great Goddess also serves as archetype of natural extremes: monsoon-like storms, great heat, earthquakes. Ancient clay inscriptions depict her raining down fire, mounted on a beast, and call her "devastatrix of the lands." Her chthonic powers become explanatory of earth-scourging catastrophes, and these aspects still live in the forms of Kali and Durga. For Sumerians, battle was known as the dance of Inanna. She stands Amazon-like, rooted and erect, garbed as Warrior Queen, gesturing confidently with her lance of power. The image comes from a cylinder seal.
