Winged Bull of Dur-Sharrukin - 1 dinar
This stamp depicts the famous winged bull with a human head, known as a Lamassu, from the ancient Assyrian city of Dur-Sharrukin (modern Khorsabad). Created during the reign of King Sargon II in the eighth century BC, these monumental sculptures were placed at palace entrances to serve as protective guardians. Combining human intelligence, the strength of a bull, and the wings of a bird, the Lamassu became one of the most recognizable symbols of Assyrian art and power. By featuring the Winged Bull, Iraq pays tribute to the achievements of the Assyrian civilization, one of the great cultures of ancient Mesopotamia. The stamp highlights the country's extraordinary archaeological heritage and commemorates the artistic, architectural, and cultural accomplishments that made Assyria one of the most influential empires of the ancient Near East.
