| Description | Sumerian worshiper statue from the early dynastic temple dedicated to Inanna, the goddess of love and war at the city of Nippur in Iraq. Discovered by a joint archaeological expedition of the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania, the statue (18 in.) contains a long, but poorly preserved inscription on its back that may record gifts of land to the temple by the person whose image this was. |
