Ashur (Assyrian Mythology) Picture Ashur, the supreme god of the Assyrian pantheon, standing majestically atop a mountain with the ancient city of Assur spread out below. He is a regal figure, clothed in elaborate robes that signify his sovereignty and divine authority. His head is adorned with a horned crown, symbolizing his might and his connection to the sacred bull. In one hand, Ashur holds a ring and rod, emblems of justice and power. His other hand raises a bow, ready to defend his people and kingdom. Behind him, the winged sun disk, his emblem, radiates divine light, casting a protective glow over the land. The scene is set at dawn, with the rising sun behind him, highlighting his role as a bringer of light and civilization to his followers.
