Product Description

LAMASSU (WINGED BULL)
Khorsabad, Iraq
721-705 B.C.

From the collections of the Oriental Institute, Chicago

This charm/pin is inspired by a giant Assyrian statue of a 
human-headed winged bull. The Chicago Bull, in white 
stone, was transported to Chicago in 1929 in several 
large fragments. It originally belonged to a group which 
flanked the door to the throne room of the Assyrian King, 
Sargon II, at his palace at Khorsabad. Composite winged 
animals were common in Babylonian and Assyrian art, 
and were often placed at gateways as protection from 
evil spirits.
 
Materials: Pewter with antique gold finish, 18" Chain included. Spring Ring closure.
Length: 18" 



Made in the U.S.A.
