This Sumerian piece of artwork is from a royal grave at Ur is adorned with a bearded bull’s
head of gold leaf and lapis lazuli, and inlaid figures of a Gilgamesh like hero and animals
acting out scenes of uncertain significance.
Sumerians
The Sumerians were the people who in the
fourth millennium transformed the vast and
previously sparsely inhabited valley between the
Tigris and Euphrates into the Fertile Crescent of
the ancient world.
I think this picture is cool and unique. I think
this because of the history it has behind it and
where it came from.
