It is a place of darkness where the inhabitants are clothed in feathers, eat clay, and dwell in perpetual darkness under a door and bolt covered in dust, suggesting it is a place of finality and despair.

    "To the dark house, the abode of Irkalla,

    To the house which those who enter cannot leave


    To the road from which there is no way back
    To the house in which those who enter yearn for light
    Where soil is their sustenance, clay their food.
    Light they do not see, they dwell in darkness
    Clad like birds with garments of feathers.
    Over the door and the bolt, dust has spread."

    – The Descent of Ishtar
