Description |
English: Detail of ancient Mesopotamian so-called "Ishtar Vase", terracotta with cut, moulded, and painted decoration, from Larsa, early 2nd millennium BC.
Shows a representation of the goddess Ishtar (Inana/Inanna), naked, winged and wearing a version of the horned cap or tiara of divinity. The pubic triangle and belly-button are heavily emphasized, while the breasts were crudely scratched in as an afterthought. For discussion of similar artistic depictions, and whether they are always truly of Ishtar, see Gods, Demons, and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia: An Illustrated Dictionary by Jeremy Black and Anthony Green (1992, ISBN 0-292-70794-0), p. 144. She is surrounded by birds, fish, a bull and a tortoise (not visible in this crop).Français : Ishtar nue, coiffée de la tiare à cornes, entourée par des oiseaux, des poissons, un taureau et une tortue. |
