Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, possibly Babylon, ca. 1600 BCE. This is a terracotta plaque - one of the signature small artifacts of the ancient Near East - that depicts a bearded male figure in profile, wearing a conical headdress and a long skirt. His feet are bare; his hands are raised to his chest. His visible eye is large and open wide, a characteristic of art from this time and place - throughout the ancient Near East, we believe that wide open eyes symbolized attentiveness to the gods. Size: 2.2" W x 4.15" H (5.6 cm x 10.5 cm)
