Shaushka

Shaushka is the Hurrian goddess of Nineveh received into Hittite religion and identified historically with Ishtar. Yazilikaya Relief 38 places a masculine-presenting, winged form in the male procession with Ninatta and Kulitta; the image preserves this gender complexity without merging Shaushka into another Ishtar record.
