Rimush, the Mesopotamian Lamassu wearing a pith helmet on the left, is presented an ancient terracotta bottle by Gustav, a character from Vivziepop’s old webcomic Zoophobia. While Gustav may be a snob, he seems to have a sincere reverence towards Rimush.
Would you look at that? I created a Zoophobia OC. Meet Rimush, a Lamassu from ancient Mesopotamia who serves as Zoo Phoenix Academy’s archeology professor.

"Mad Lamassu"
The Lamassu is one of my favorite mythical creatures so I drew one in a cubist style with crayons

Artwork oddity of the day..
Totality in Babylon
A solar eclipse in full totality with a backdrop of very mysterious Babylonian lamassu guardian statues and sculptures. One wonders what the ancients thought of these rare solar events..🤔 #Art #MyArt #Babylon #Lamassu #ArtistOnBluesky
18-ton limestone #sculpture of a #lamassu, from the reign of the #Assyrian king Sargon II (721-705 BC), discovered in northern Iraq by an Iraqi-French archaeological team. Lamassu, mythical creatures with human heads, bull bodies, and eagle wings, symbolized intelligence and strength.

Si aplicamos esta idea al arte asirio, los famosos " #lamassu" (toros o leones alados con cabeza humana) y los relieves de #demonios podrían reinterpretarse no solo como propaganda política, sino como #amuletos #gigantes contra fuerzas caóticas.
Two female thieves, Marisol and Hannah, have infiltrated a museum in London in the middle of the night, on orders from their boss CeCe and under the direction of their handler, Leanne. Marisol is a young Venezuelan latina woman with long dark brown hair and tinted shades; Hannah is an attractive blonde with fair skin and make-up. They are standing in a chamber in the Middle Eastern wing of the museum, with a glowing pendant dropped on the floor at their feet. The pendant is gold with turquoise inlay, and depicts the Persian mythological creature known as a lamassu, which has the head of a man, body of a bull, and large eagle wings sprouting from its back. The pendant and thieves are all illuminated with an ethereal blue-green magic glow, as the pendant has transformed Marisol and Hannah into female lamassu counterparts, with their unchanged heads and breasts on furless cow bodies with udders and eagle wings. On the walls behind them, there are several stone bas reliefs with other depictions of lamassu. Marisol is clearly upset to have been turned into this creature, while Hannah has slightly more mundane concerns about the inconvenience of having a cow body. Marisol: "Fuck!! Seriously?! Ugh! Of course there's a curse on this thing. I bet that billullo* bitch sent us up here knowing it was cursed! Oh, and I can just hear Leanne laughing at us already, the smug pelimorado coño.** I'd like to land my back hoof right in that grinning mouth of hers..." Hannah: "Well, now what do we do, Marisol? I was going to visit Bond Street after the heist. I can't be seen perusing London's high-end boutiques with my udder hanging out like a common dairy cow!" At the bottom of the image, there is a text box explaining Marisol's starred Spanish slurs: "* billullo - Venezuelan slang for "wealthy" (i.e., CeCe) ** pelimorado coño - 'purple-haired cunt'"
Marisol and Hannah's first heist for their new boss CeCe involves stealing an ancient Persian pendant bearing an image of a mythological creature called a lamassu from a museum in London.
It goes about as well as you'd think.

A golden L, over which strides a lamssu - a bull's body (with 5 legs), a blue and gold wing, and a (very cheerful) human head with a curly beard and blue and gold hat and earrings
L is for Lamassu - a winged bull with a human head, found guarding the doorways to Assyrian palaces - note that this one has five legs, like many of the statues do!
