Description
Near East, Mesopotamian (Babylonian or Sumerian), ca. 2200 to 1550 BCE. A mold-made pottery relief plaque depicting a female goddess or worshipper standing in the nude, save a multi-strand necklace, with hands clasped together over her abdominal area, right between her voluptuous breasts and womb. The iconography wonderfully captures the female's physiognomy as well as her attractive visage framed by a long coiffure with a thick fringe of bangs above her eyes. Size: 1.75" W x 4.875" H (4.4 cm x 12.4 cm)
