There is still mystery surrounding the exact meaning and function of this rare and splendid plaque, but its hypnotic power is obvious. On one side a warrior with the horns and ears of a bull stands next to the larger-scaled bust of a woman, perhaps a goddess. On the opposite side is an engraving very probably representing a deity.

As more clues to the importance of Ebla as a vital ancient city emerge, perhaps we will come to better understand this fascinating artifact.
