Lamastu (Lamashtu) Demoness Tapestries

Lamaštu — the Predatory Face of Lilith

Lamaštu (Lamastu, Lamashtu, Dimme) is the ancient Mesopotamian demoness who is one of the origins of the Hebrew Lilith. The cuneiform spelling of Lamaštu of the Night identifies her with the ardat-lilî demons of Babylon, Sumeria, and Assyria — a Babylonian fallen goddess, and one violent and predatory incarnation of LILITH.

Key Features:
