Part of The Tell Asmar Hoard which consists of twelve statues (The Eshnunna Statues). These remarkable artifacts were discovered in 1933 at Eshnunna, now known as Tell Asmar, in Iraq’s Diyala Governorate. Despite other finds in Mesopotamia, these statues remain the quintessential examples of Early Dynastic temple sculpture (2900 BC–2350 BC).
