This hand-carved Lamassu statue brings one of the most iconic guardian figures of the ancient world into your home or sacred space. Sculpted from solid ash wood and finished with lacquer, every detail — from the human face and eagle wings to the powerful bull body — is shaped by hand in our workshop in Ukraine. A striking piece for collectors of ancient mythology, Mesopotamian art enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to the protective symbolism of Assyrian culture.
The Lamassu (Akkadian: lāmassu) was the supreme guardian deity of ancient Mesopotamia — a composite being combining human intelligence, the strength of a bull, and the freedom of an eagle. Colossal Lamassu sculptures flanked the gates of Assyrian palaces at Nineveh, Nimrud, and Khorsabad, standing as divine sentinels against chaos and evil. In Assyrian and Babylonian belief, the Lamassu protected cities, households, and individuals from demons and misfortune, and its five legs allowed it to appear both standing and striding — eternally vigilant from every angle.
A powerful centrepiece for any Mesopotamian and Sumerian statue collection or a meaningful protective talisman for home or office.
