Abbu
Abbu was the wife of Sanaṭrūq II (although Sanaṭrūq I was also suggested), who was the last ruler of Hatra and ruled from about AD 200 to 240. She is referred to as the daughter of Daimon in an inscription on a statue. Abbu is best known for a larger than life statue showing her standing with her right hand raised. She wears a long robe and a high headdress. The statue was found in the so-called Temple D in Hatra and is considered an important work of Hatra's art.
