Description
Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, Sumerian, ca. 2500 to 2200 BCE. A charming trio of 3 stone amulets, each hand-carved into the form of an animal.

Size of largest (dog): 0.9" L x 0.3" W x 0.5" H (2.3 cm x 0.8 cm x 1.3 cm)

Provenance: private Charlotte, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-Joel Malter collection, prior to 2004
