Lama


Protective goddess Lama – The “interceding goddess” shown in this image with arms raised in a gesture of prayer is well-known in earlier Mesopotamian art, where she is shown as an intermediary between a human (usually the king) and a high-ranking god or goddess. There is some confusion because she is identified by the inscription as the goddess Lama but may be the goddess Inanna.
