Nebuchadnezzar II built this double gate into the inner city of Babylon and dedicated it to the goddess Ishtar. Its walls were faced with bricks glazed deep blue in imitation of lapis lazuli, with rows of moulded dragons and bulls in low relief, animals of the gods Marduk and Adad. The smaller front gate was rebuilt in Berlin from excavated fragments.

Find the mušḫuššu, Marduk's dragon, with a snake's head, a scaly body and a bird's talons on its hind legs. Brick seams were planned never to cross an animal's eye.
