English: This was part of wall relief and was found inside a well within the courtyard of the temple of Assur at the city of Assur (Ashur). The central part of the relief depicts a male deity. Two smaller water deities stand on either side of him. He holds two long branches, and two goats (standing on their hind legs) appear to eat from these branches. Probably this bearded deity represents the god Assur, while the goddesses protect the plant and animal world in this city. Gypsum, from Assur, northern Mesopotamia, Iraq. 2000-1500 BCE. Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany.
