Hanging Gardens of the Semiramis (CHAT 069)

This design depicts a gorgeous GATE OF ISHTAR where SEMIRAMIS' famous gardens of ancient Babylon can be seen through the portal. Imagine those ultra-blue tiles, the golden bands and ornaments, the lions and mythical creatures depicted on that background! Imagine the lush and exotic plants which are rising to the height of the sky on their stairs: Palm trees, Pomegranates with the ripe fruit peeking out of the rich greens, Lotus flower ponds and swaying grasses and flowers.
