EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Luigi Giarre, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, showcases the majestic figure of Cybele, the Earth Mother goddess. Cybele, also known as Magna Mater or the Great Mother, was one of the oldest and most revered deities in the ancient world, particularly in Anatolia and Rome. The goddess is depicted here in her iconic pose, seated regally on a lion throne. The lion, a symbol of power and strength, underscores Cybele's role as a protector and nurturer of the earth. In her right hand, she holds a sceptre, a symbol of her authority and rule over the natural world. The mural crown atop her head, adorned with ivy and other vegetation, represents her connection to the earth and her role as the giver of life. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of Cybele's robes to the intricate patterns on the lion throne, showcase the skill and artistry of Luigi Giarre and Giulio Ferrario. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations and the enduring power of mythology and symbolism.
