About Ninshibar!

Ninshibar raised her voice to return
the goddess Inanna from
the Great Below to the Great Above.
Ninshibar! serves the return
of the divine feminine today.


The name Ninshibar comes from the Sumerian myth of Inanna. Written on clay cuneiform tablets over 5,000 years ago, the myth of Inanna is the oldest written story still in existence. Ninshibar was the handmaid or vizier to Inanna, Queen of Heaven & Earth and the major Sumerian Goddess. Ninshibar gave up her own place in the pantheon to serve Inanna. When Inanna chose to go into the underworld, Ninshibar raised her voice to return the Goddess to the world of the living. Ninshibar also helped to protect the "barge of heaven" while the gifts of civilization were being transported to the people of Sumer.


Ninshibar! artworks are imbued with this intention of service to the divine feminine through the creation of beautiful, sensuous silks. We hope you enjoy our products. Thanks for visiting!
