Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statuette made of alabaster, with hair made of stucco, and the moon crescent of gilded bronze. The arms were formerly tied up to the body with gold wires. The rubies in eyes and navel came from Burma, quite a distant origin. Probably from Babylonia, Parthian period ( 1st century BCE - 2nd century ACE ).

These alabaster statuettes were placed in women's graves. They are idealized figurations of the deceased person, both as a whorshipper giving an offering and as the goddess Nanaya herself, the daughter of the solar god Sin. This one was found near the head of the skeleton in a tomb.

Now displayed in the Louvre Museum, Near Eastern Antiquities, room 6. Inventory number AO 20127.
