Queen of the Night
Remind me that the next time I go to the British Museum I ought to check this out. There's something very special about any representation that is in such good nick despite being almost four thousand years old.

She was up in one of the Ancient Near East galleries (turn right off the footbridge) last time I was in them (a couple of weeks ago). She does look brilliant, and of course there are lots of other amazing things there too ... including the "Ram in the thicket" from Ur that I can remember being captivated by as a 10-year-old. This link might work ... http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ixbin/goto?id=OBJ1738 (have been having problems with Compass links recently).
