Pictured here (an object known to have been in Baghdad): The Golden Bull's Head from the Lyre, circa 2500 B.C.

Following excavations by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the British Museum at the Royal Tombs of Ur in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) in the 1920s, half of the excavated material went to the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad.
