Ancient Bull Figurine from Mesopotamian Religion - Symbol of Fertility and Power #19378 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts a stylized bull statuette from the ancient Near East, likely dating to the Early Dynastic or Akkadian period (c. 2600-2200 BCE). The figure features elaborate incised ornamentation on its body, including chevrons, zigzags, and concentric circles, and wears a distinctive crescent-shaped headdress-possibly linking it to the moon god Sin or the storm god Adad. Such objects were often placed in temples or used in votive offerings to honor deities associated with strength, fertility, and cosmic order.
