Findings on Mesopotamian Gods

Each Gold pendant in the jewelry hoard represents a deity.


Ishtar – the goddess of fertility as well as sexuality and violence. I was told the gridded or rough area below her waistline represents fertility.







Adad - God of the Storms, associated with lighting. Often represented in a smiting posture either mounted on or in a chariot pulled by a lion-dragon or a bull
