Description
English: Gold pendants and beads found in the so-called "Dilbat Hoard", bought in the beginning of the 20th century, and said to come from Tell al-Deylam (ancient Dilbat in Babylonia). The two female figures probably represent the protective goddess called Lama; the disk is the symbol for the sun-god Shamash; the forked lightning is the symbol for Adad, the storm god ; the two disks with rosettes may be symbols of Ishtar, the planet Venus, goddess of love and war. The objects may have been worn by a priest or the cultic statue of a god. Description : https://www.metmuseum.org/pubs/journals/1/pdf/1512957.pdf.bannered.pdf
