Babylon

Babylonian, about 700-500 BC, probably from Sippar, southern Iraq A unique ancient map of the Mesopotamian world

Stela of Nabonidus Neo-Babylonian dynasty, 555-539 BC Possibly from Babylon, southern Iraq

Babylonian, about 900-800 BC from Babylon, southern Iraq This stela comes from the Temple of Marduk in Babylon. It is a commemorative monument set up in honour of a private individual called Adad-etir. He was an official in the temple and this stela was erected by his son Marduk-balassu-iqbi.

Babylonian, about 800-550 BC From Mesopotamia This clay plaque is probably an image of the ushumgal, the 'snake-dragon' of Sumerian poetry. The ushumgal can be a metaphor for a god or king; and is not necessarily evil or unpleasant.The snake-dragon has horns, the body and neck of a snake, the forelegs of a lion, and the hind legs of a bird. It is represented in art from 2300 BC to the last centuries BC as a symbol of various gods or as a magically protective hybrid.

Old Babylonian, about 19th century BC From Mesopotamia The design on this lapis lazuli seal shows the owner of the seal being brought into the presence of a king by a goddess known as a lamma.
