Created by an anonymous Syrian artist during the 11th-9th century, this limestone bas-relief is housed in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara, Turkey.

The attention to detail is remarkable, particularly when focusing on the intricate portrayal of the deity. Every curve and contour of their form exudes power and mystique.
