Summary
| Description |
Español:
Lilith o La Reina de la Noche
Terracota con restos de policromía
English:
Famous relief from the Old Babylonian period (now in the British museum) called the "
Burney relief
" or "Queen of the Night relief". The depicted figure could be an aspect of the goddess Ishtar, Mesopotamian goddess of sexual love and war. However, her bird-feet and accompanying owls have suggested to some a connection with Lilitu (called Lilith in the Bible), though seemingly not the usual demonic Lilitu.
