It is made of black basalt stone and is 2.60 meters long and the platform is 1.95 meters high. It was discovered in Babylon in the late eighteenth century. Although the lion has always been used as a symbol of domination and power, the Babylonian one is more associated with the goddess Ishtar, the goddess of war and love. The lion is atop a human which is under his paws. The lion has become a symbol for many purposes and institutions in Iraq, such as the logo of the Iraqi Football Union, on the 25,000 coins, etc. In 2009, the Iraqi Archaeological Authority gave it more attention and protected it from destruction.
