Ancient Babylon: Lion

Last week we talked about how Babylon was once depicted with the image of the lion. Below are some pictures of artifacts from Ancient Babylon that show us some examples:
The Lion of Babylon statue, showing the strength of the lion over man.
Lions on the Ishtar Gate, built during the time of King Nebuchadnezzar.
