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

From the collections of the Oriental Institute, Chicago

This charm/pin is inspired by a monumental Assyrian sculpture of a human-headed, winged bull. Known as the "Chicago Bull," the statue—carved from white stone—was brought to Chicago in 1929 in several large fragments. It originally stood as part of a pair flanking the entrance to the throne room of Assyrian King Sargon II at his palace in Khorsabad. Such composite winged creatures were common in Babylonian and Assyrian art and were traditionally placed at gateways to ward off evil spirits.

Materials: Pewter with antique gold finish
Closure: Tie tack post with butterfly clasp
Width: 7/8"
