EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately carved Neo-Sumerian diorite statue of Gudea, the Ensi or governor of the ancient Sumerian city of Lagash, located in modern-day Telloh, Iraq. Dated back to 2120 BC, this masterpiece was discovered in Girsu and is now proudly displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Gudea is depicted as a sitting figure, dressed in the robe of a priest and holding a model temple of Ningirsu, the god of Girsu, in his lap. The statue is adorned with an inscription in the ancient cuneiform script, which is considered one of the earliest forms of writing. The inscription details Gudea's accomplishments as a ruler, including his role as an architect and town planner. The intricate details of the carving, the delicate lines of the cuneiform script, and the sense of calm and regality conveyed by the statue transport us back to the 3rd millennium BC, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Mesopotamia. The Neo-Sumerian period, which spanned from approximately 2144 to 2124 BC, was a time of artistic and cultural flourishing in the region, and the statue of Gudea is a testament to the artistic and technological achievements of the time.
