Rana Zaher, an artist with a background in archaeology, was inspired by the lions on ‘The Ishtar Gate’ – the main entrance to the city of Babylon, when creating this wearable artwork.
The “Lions of Babylon”, guardians of the goddess of love & war, Ishtar, are here to remind us of the women’s power throughout history and of the importance of preserving what is left of Iraq’s ancient architecture and cultural greatness.
