Ewe and ram flanking plant

"The theme of 5 is related to that of 2 by the fact that a ram and ewe, probably representative of a larger herd, are pictured with a symbol. This symbol, interpreted by Andrae as a gatepost with streamers, has been identified as the symbol of the mother goddess, since it can be shown to have developed into the name sign of Inanna, a deity who appears as a mother goddess in religious texts of later periods."
