The oldest image of a two tailed siren is from western Iran, dating to the early Iron Age, from about 1000-650 BCE. She’s part of the collection of “Luristan bronzes,” part of several bronze weapons, ornaments, and figurines found in that mountainous area. The author says this this is a synthesis between a “goddess of the waters and ‘lady of the animals’” and was mass produced for people in the Zagros Mountains as a fertility talisman.
