Description: Color slide (cardboard frame: 50x50mm; negative: 23x35mm) showing a reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate in Iraq at the archaeological site of Babylon. Built around 569 BC and located northeast of the ancient city of Babylon in Mesopotamia, it is one of the eight gates of the inner city. It was crossed by the Processional Way, the city's main artery. The slide, marked I/1, was filed by the researcher in a plastic slide storage case labeled "Lebanon - Iraq". The series divider reads "Babylon. October 1968".
