The relief sculpture we present is a reproduction of a glazed ceramic lion from the Ishtar Gate.

The Ishtar Gate, the most beautiful gate in Babylonia, opened the Way of the Processions, which ended at the great religious complex of Marduk. Structurally, the gate consisted of two thick bodies of different heights with two towers each. The surface of the gate was covered with blue glazed bricks.
