New Babylonian bull.jpg

view map

In the same museum garden as the archaeological museum is a museum of the ancient orient, where they have some reliefs from the Neo Babylonian period in Babylon, early 6th century BC. The catalogue does not quite make it clear if this and some other reliefs are from a "second palace" by Nebuchadrezzar (604-562 BC), from the Ishtar Gate or elsewhere in the city. Whatever, these are great.
