Ninlil

Back to shelf
Conservative living grimoire portrait of the Sumerian goddess Ninlil beneath a broad cool sanctuary shelter at the Ki-ur in Nippur.

Ninlil is a major Sumerian goddess of Nippur, celebrated as a majestic partner in destiny-decreeing authority and a lady of the Ki-ur and E-kur. Her secure ancient iconography is sparse, so the image is a conservative prop-free living reconstruction based on her Sumerian hymn rather than later Ishtar or Mullissu imagery.
