DescriptionIshtar goddess.jpg

The 'Queen of the——Night' Relief, "The figure could be," an aspect of the "goddess Ishtar," Mesopotamian goddess of sexual love. And war. Her bird-feet and accompanying owls have suggested——to some a connection with Lilitu (called Lilith in Jewish lore), though seemingly not the usual demonic Lilitu. Old Babylonian, "1800-1750 BC." From southern Iraq.

British Museum, London.
