Glazed-brick tile mosaic of Persian bull, from Babylons Ishtar Gate

Glazed-brick tile mosaic of Persian bull, from Babylon's Ishtar Gate

Now at the Nat'l Archaeological Museums, this is from Babylon's main entrance, from the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar II (605 - 562 BC).  Part of a hallway with lions on one side, bulls and
mythical beasts on the other, this was my favorite.  Hooves outside brick are a nice touch.
