The Goddess of the gushing water (second half of the 3rd millennium B.C.) is a votive statue in limestone serving as a fountain, which was found broken into fragments in the Palace of Zimri-Lim at Mari. The original is now in the Aleppo National Museum.
Through an inner channel, trickles of water gushed out of a jar onto the goddess' gown, decorated with the motif of fish swimming up a river, which became classic in the early Babylonian Age.
