Thank YOU.

But I don't use Instagram so probably not.

...is that the figure represents either Ereshkigal or Inanna, both goddesses in the Mesopotamian pantheon.

The whole dying / rising god thing is pretty old.

. . . a girl I dated in my junior year in college.

Dating goddesses never ends well.

. . . then this drop-dead gorgeous girl in my Shakespeare class -- who I thought would never give me a second look -- took pity on me, patched me up and this July 30 we will have been married for 60 years.

To each his own, I guess.

I'm glad you like it!

Wouldn’t have known that you had a struggle getting a good shot.

Well, done. Will be touring the British Museum next week. I’ ll be looking for this.

Well done and thanks for posting.

My wife did better with her phone in most cases. Have a great time when you go! It's a remarkable museum, even if it is likely the world's greatest monument to cultural theft.

Been there a number of years ago. The Elgin marbles are just one representation of British thievery. This piece is another.

Still want to see it.

The Elgin marbles, Rosetta Stone, and Assyrian gates are all displayed near one another on the first level. Standing in front of them was really special.

Must be something to see that in person.

Pretty much every artifact in that museum is astounding in one way or another.

... I'm fascinated by this image. Thank you and : great job with the difficulty photographing it.

Thanks so much for bringing it to us.
