Summary
Famous relief from the Old Babylonian period (now in the British museum) called the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burney_relief" class="extiw" title="en:Burney relief">Burney relief</a>" or "Queen of the Night relief". The depicted figure could be an aspect of the goddess Ishtar, Mesopotamian goddess of sexual love and war. However, her bird-feet and accompanying owls have suggested to some a connection with Lilitu (called Lilith in the Bible), though seemingly not the usual demonic Lilitu.
