Mesopotamian figurine, 2nd–1st millennium B.C. Bronze. Measurements: 7.5 cm. Provenance: Family legacy of Ramon Martí Alsina and Ricard Martí Aguiló. Archaeological collection formed from the 1950s by successive generations of the family, through acquisitions in European galleries and auction houses. Mesopotamian figurine depicting a standing figure in an upright posture with hands in a prayer position. During late antiquity, numerous objects and instruments of a magical-religious nature were produced in this region, related to rituals intended to control demonic forces. Contemporary texts reveal a conceptual blend that combines biblical and popular Jewish heritage with Hellenistic esoteric traditions and Mesopotamian religions, seeking to bring together the most powerful rituals and ideas from each tradition in order to increase the effectiveness of the struggle against the forces of evil spirits.
