Hand carved Assyrian winged bull Lamassu pendant.
A Lamassu is depicted as having a human's head, a body of a bull or a lion, and eagle's wings.
The lamassu is a celestial being from Mesopotamian mythology, Persian, and other Iranic cultures such as the Babylonian, Assyrian, Sumerian and Akkadian. Human above the waist and a bull below the waist, it also has the horns and the ears of a bull. It appears frequently in Mesopotamian art, sometimes with wings. The lamassu is a household protective spirit of the common Babylonian people. Later during the Babylonian period they became the protectors of kings as well always placed at the entrance. Statues of the bull-man were often used as gatekeepers.
