So-called "Ivory of Shapash" (North-Semitic Sun Goddess) Origin: Syro-Phoenician, ca. 8th century BCE Found in palace of Ashurnasirpal II Nimrud, Iraq (Assyria) (Met Museum 59.107.7, Pub Domain, Enhanced) Built by the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II, the palaces and storerooms of Nimrud housed thousands of pieces of carved ivory. Most of the ivories served as furniture inlays or small precious objects such as boxes. While some of them were carved in the same style as the large Assyrian reliefs lining the walls of the Northwest Palace, the majority of the ivories display images and styles related to the arts of North Syria and the Phoenician city-states. Phoenician style ivories are distinguished by their use of imagery related to Egyptian art, such as sphinxes and figures wearing pharaonic crowns, and the use of elaborate carving techniques such as openwork and colored glass inlay. North Syrian style ivories tend to depict stockier figures in more dynamic compositions, carved as solid plaques with fewer added decorative elements. However, some pieces do not fit easily into any of these three styles. Source: The Met Museum

Four gods from ancient Mesopotamia. From left to right: This is Enki. He is the god of fresh waters, and of wisdom. The two streams flowing from his head are the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. His humble sheepskin clothing and curly hair identify him with the Lahmu, his people, the hairy hero-men of the sea. Ea's love for the hero, Atrahasis, caused him to take pity on humankind. When we would have been destroyed in a flood, he gave Atrahasis the secret to survive. This is Ishtar. She is Venus, the Evening Star. She is the goddess of sex, and beauty, and war, and violence; and she is the goddess of trans people, who can turn men into women, and women into men. Her symbol is the eight pointed star. Once, she went down into the underworld. When she was gone, nobody had any sex, and so civilization was threatened with extinction. A hero - a prostitute - went down into the underworld and brought her back home. This is Shamash. He is the god of the sun. He can see everything that happens every day, so his role is to administer justice. He carries the rod and ring, and a saw-tooth knife, which serve his role as judge, jury, and executioner. He is radiant. Beams of light emanate from his head. His symbol is a four pointed star with four beams of radiation. His number is 20. He drives a chariot across the sky each day. This is Sin. He is the moon. He is mysterious.
