The mythical Dragon of Marduk with scaly body, serpent's head,viper's horns, front feet of a feline, hind feet of a bird, and ascorpion's tail, was sacred to the god Marduk, principal deity ofBabylon.
The striding dragon was a portion of the decoration of one ofthe gates of the city of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar, whose nameappears in the Bible as the despoiler of Jerusalem (Kings II 24:10-16,25:8-15), ornamented the monumental entrance gate dedicated to Ishtar,the goddess of love and war, and the processional street leading to itwith scores of pacing glazed brick animals: on the gate werealternating tiers of Marduk's dragons and bulls of the weather godAdad; along the street were the lions sacred to Ishtar. All of thisbrilliant decoration was designed to create aceremonial entrance for the king in religious procession on the mostimportant day of the New Year's Festival.
