Pictured here (an object known to have been in Baghdad and to have been
stolen during the looting of the National Museum of Iraq): Diorite statue
of Entemena, enlarged detail of a back view.
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.
