Late Mesopotamian Diorite Bovine Figure (1500-1000 BC)

Item Details

Description

This diorite bovine figure, with its origins in the late Mesopotamian era around 1500 to 1000 BC, measures 6x3x3 cm (2.36x1.18x1.18 inches). The piece exhibits the enduring Mesopotamian skill in rendering animals, which were central to their mythology and agriculture. Bovines were especially significant, often symbolizing fertility and abundance. This figure, carved from the hard, enduring stone of diorite, might have been a votive piece intended to invoke protection and prosperity. Its well-defined form and the attention to detail on the horns and body attest to the high level of craftsmanship achieved by artisans of that period. Such a piece would appeal to collectors fascinated by the deep-rooted symbolism and artistry of ancient Mesopotamian culture.
