Description
Ancient Near East, Sumeria or Babylon, ca. 2nd to 1st millennium BCE. A nicely preserved terracotta plaque depicting three figures, one of whom may be a standing sarcophagus with a mask on its face - or possibly a lord or god. The other two figures are turned towards this central figure, as if in attendance. Pottery plaques are one of the lasting art forms from ancient Mesopotamia that give us a glimpse into religious practices and what people valued; they were often kept in the home, perhaps on a personal altar. Size: 3.7" W x 3.8" H (9.4 cm x 9.7 cm)
