This photograph, taken by A.G.A. van Eelde in 1925, depicts a lion sculpture in Hillah, Iraq. The sculpture is likely from ancient Babylon and may have served as a guardian figure. It is in a style that is characteristic of Mesopotamian art, with a focus on powerful, stylized forms. The sculpture's placement in a desert landscape reinforces its connection to the ancient world.
