Ninhursag

Back to shelf
Conservative living grimoire portrait of the Sumerian goddess Ninhursag before the terraced brick sanctuary of Kesh.

Ninhursag is a Sumerian mother goddess associated in temple-hymn tradition with the formidable house at Kesh. Specific anthropomorphic representations are difficult to identify, so the image is a conservative living reconstruction without the generic mother-goddess omega sign or umbilical knife.
