The Burney Relief is an early 2nd millennium BC (ca. 1950 BC) Mesopotamian terracotta relief (alternately said to be "Sumerian" or "Assyrian") of a winged goddess-figure with eagle's talons, flanked by owls and perched upon supine lions. It is in the British museum London, England. The goddess has been identified with the Sumerian Kisikil-lilla-ke of the Gilgamesh epos, and, somewhat optimistically, with 7th century BC Babylonian Lilitu. A very similar relief dating to roughly the same period is preserved in the Louvre (AO 6501).
