The Queen of the Night

thingiverse

The "Queen of the Night" relief is an Old Babylonian plaque made from baked straw-tempered clay, acquired by the British Museum for its 250th anniversary. The high-relief figure of a curvaceous naked woman with a horned headdress, rod and ring symbols, and bird-like talons represents a Mesopotamian deity or underworld goddess. Standing on lions and painted black against an original mountain pattern background, this 3,800-year-old artifact may be the Burney Relief and could date back to between 1765 and 145 BC. The relief was scanned by Cosmo Wenman using Autodesk 123D Catch at the British Museum in London.
