Looking for an image, a petroglyph of an angel. I think its Sumerian.

Question

I saw it awhile back. Probably on the history channel or something. It's one of those pre judeo-christian angels. Very simple design. Prehistory maybe. I've been looking and looking. Can't find it.

Need it for a tattoo design.

Answer 2

Most Sumerian angels were represented in a very stylized form, especially the older ones.  You might try Assyrian or Babylonian images as these tend to be more artistic and look less childish.

If you can remember the exact show, you might be able to get your local library to order a DVD copy from their interlibrary loan system.

If you want to search online, just use the yahoo, google or MSN live image search for "angel" or even better "angel tattoo".
