Votive statue of a Babylonian king, about 2450 B.C. Found in southern Babylonia (now modern Iraq); now in the Louvre, Paris.
The statue is of diorite, a hard stone imported from a distance. This illustrates the fact that Babylonia had an extensive commerce. Click here to enlarge. Extension activity for students: Compare and contrast to today's votive statuary. |
