This morose elephant is really a Sumerian/Akkadian bilingual clay tablet, 4th–1st century B.C. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC)
This tablet contains a lament by Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of fertility, over the destruction of her cities and shrines, and contrasts her present humiliation with her previous power.
