Ninhursaga |
 | | Her supposed symbol was omega, which was display from around 3500 BC but more prominently from the early second millennium. |
| | It appeared on some kudurru boundary stones--on the upper tier denoting her importance. |
| | Temple hymn sources identify her as the "true and great lady of heaven," and the kings of Sumer were "nourished by Ninhursaga's milk." Distinct from the goddess Inanna, she enjoys closer links with fecundity and birth, and is occasionally portrayed as a midwife, or with bosom bare and carry a baby in her left arm. |
