Enkidu – The noble companion of Gilgamesh in the eponymous epic from Sumerian ... An Aztec lunar god that once aspired to be Sun but a hesitant leap relegated him to the Moon.

The helmet is adorned not with the familiar bull’s horns of Mesopotamian moon gods, but with those of an ibex. The broad-cheeked face is Caucasian; the inlaid eyes date back to Sumeria.
