Description

This is a modern reconstruction of the "Terracotta Figurine of a Male Musician" from Susa, Iran, dating back to the Middle Elamite period (1500-1100 BC), currently housed in The Louvre.

A detailed look at the figurine reveals:

  1. The figure symbolizes a Naked Shaman from the Ancient Middle East. The nudity, a significant element of Shamanic belief, signifies the removal of all barriers to liberate the soul, embodying the concept that the soul, like the shaman, is inherently naked.

  2. His sunken stomach indicates a deep Shamanic Trance.

  3. He plays a Tanbour, a spiritual instrument used for deep trances.

  4. His finger placement probably suggests the ancient "Sar-Tarz" melody. This ancient melody from the Tanbour repertoire mythologically narrates Adam's creation by God.

By owning this NFT, you connect to ancient Sar-Tarz Maqam's chromatic intervals, resonating in modern Jazz. Join the shaman on an exploration of spirituality and human connection under the timeless Tree of Life.
