English: Goddess Ishtar (Inanna) stands on the back of an animal (probably a lion). She holds a bow with her left hand while the right hand grasps what appears to be a crook or a sickle-like object. The symbol of the god Shamash (Utu) can be seen at the upper right corner. The scene seems to sit on the top of a mountainous area. Old-Babylonian period, 19ht to 17th century BC. From Southern Mesopotamia, Iraq. The Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany.
