Ashnan Ezina Sumerian Symbols Charm

The Sumerian goddess Ashnan, also known as Ezina or Ezina-Kusu, was the patron goddess of grains. She was Lahar's sister and the daughter of Enlil. Ashnan and Lahar provided food to the group of deities known as Annunaki. Aside from the legend, the goddess Ashnan is frequently portrayed as a woman who is dispensing food and grains to those who are waiting in line to receive them. Another representation has her sitting on top of the grain plant while carrying grain about on her back, much as how people carry arcs and bows.
