Inanna

Back to shelf
Living grimoire painting of the Sumerian goddess Inanna in a horned cap and flounced robe, holding one double-edged bronze dagger before restrained Uruk gateposts.

Inanna is a major Sumerian goddess of love, war, political power, and the Venus star. Her first image uses Sumerian textual and early iconographic controls: a horned cap, flounced robe, restrained reed-gatepost setting, and exactly one double-edged dagger from Inanna and Ebih.
